Hi list, I am currently reading openssl code of version 0.9.8-beta2, and I don't quite understand the piece of comment above the function dh_builtin_genparams() in /crypto/dh/dh_gen.c.
In general it says: if $p$ is a safe prime, and $2$ is a generator of the cyclic group modulo $p$(i.e, $2$ is primitive root of $p), then $p$ is of form $p$ == 11 (mod 24). However, my knowledge only leads me to the point that, $p$ = 3/-3 (mod 8), based on the quadratic residue property. Could anyone please guide me further in the intended direction? -- Thanks & regards Sun, Xun ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
