Probably not, this is flow in Montgomery multiplication which is used
in modular exponentation. Of course modular exponentation is used
in key generation process in p,q prime test (Miller-Rabin)
but this simply looks like ASN.1 encoding:
$ echo MIIBOQIB | openssl base64 -d | hexdump -C
00000000 30 82 01 39 02 01 |0..9..|
00000006
or (with some dirty hack) we may try to decode this 6 bytes:
$ echo MIIBOQIB | (openssl base64 -d; dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1
count=2000) | openssl asn1parse -inform der
2000+0 records in
2000+0 records out
0:d=0 hl=4 l= 313 cons: SEQUENCE
4:d=1 hl=2 l= 1 prim: INTEGER :2C
Error in encoding
18407:error:0D07207B:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_get_object:header too
long:asn1_lib.c:140:
