I am not sure I understand. How does this relate to my question?
Where does the other factor come from?
I got the impression, and maybe I misunderstood, that you were
viewing a product of two primes aA, where a was

Can you give me a ref to where they say that? I'd like to know
exactly what they are claiming.
this will have to wait a couple of days.
Perhaps they are encrypting the DH secrets with RSA keys

My point was that some commercial vendors (Check Point and others)
claim, that if two partners want to perform a DH key exchange, they
may use their two public keys for g and p. This, in effect, would
mean that g and p were not globally known, but that the public keys
The Check Point Firewall-1 Docs insist, that the public keys be used
for p and g for the Oakley key exchange. I ask you: is this
possible?
- which of the two pubkeys will be p, which g?
- are they both always primes?
- are they both always suitable generators mod p?
It just seems to me
