> Why is it coded like that ? Is it safe ? I'm pretty sure there is only one inverse given n and e, that is, d is unique. Accidentally choosing the wrong d because you made an algorithmic/programming error will create a non-working keypair. I'd say, since it works, it is correct.
Perhaps the better question is: *why* does it work? Why are the operations equivalent? Peter. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail.
