Hi Guys,
I came across the following certificate today on a RedHat box:
http://www.dotcomhost.com/pleskinstaller/MivaVM/5.09/cgi-bin/certs/8317b10c.0.
The thing that caught my eye was the public exponent of 50557. I know
it factors to {13, 3889}.
Is there any benefit to using an exponent that factors? I always
thought low hamming weights and primality were the desired attributes
for public exponents. And I'm not sure about primality.
Jeff
