Hello:
 I'm looking for an RSA implementation, the ones I have found are
really slow, and I just want to:

generatekey
decrypt

the encryptfunction will be done in javascript, it's for a login system
without SSL.

Have you considered using on one-way MD5 hash instead? Again, it would need JS to do the client-side hashing (so JS on the client mandatory). In the server database keep the hashed values and compare them with what the client sends.

Keeping the hashed values in the database is more secure than unencrypted passwords, and you don't want to look at users' passwords anyway, do you?

Just a thought, in case you had not yet considered it. The archives from a week or so ago will have something on this, I remember it being discussed.
