Dunno if anyone else thinks this might be interesting but I do:-)
So I sketched out an initial idea for how it might fit in here. [1] Comments welcome. S. [1] http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-farrell-kc-00.txt On 02/15/2012 07:17 PM, Stephen Farrell wrote:
Hiya, I guess the recent publications about common factors [1,2] are something else that this group might want to consider. I wonder if an rsa modulus checker protocol might help or something. Not sure if that's something that could be run quickly enough though, other than for the straight duplicates or dumbass things with small factors you should spot yourself. Anyone know? Or maybe you could register your public key and get a nonce, then come back periodically to see if any problems have been detected for your key. And yes, better prngs are needed, but there'll probably always be bad ones out there. S.
