David Wagner describes a trick from Dan Bernstein to speed up
RSA signature verification with e = 3:
One of the nicest ideas from his work is easy to describe. In plain
RSA, s is a valid signature on m if H(m) = s^3 (mod n). Now suppose we
ask the signer to also supply an integer k such

Not arguing, but the hardware cost curve for storage has a shorter
halving time than the cost curve for CPU (Moore's Law) and the
corresponding halving time for bandwidth is shorter still.
If that relationship holds up over a period of years, today's
tradeoffs between cache,
