Probably the file command regonizes the UTF-8 Byte Order Mark as it does other magic numbers. UTF-8 BOM is 0xEFBBBF, a signature that indicates the encoding of the file is UTF-8. If you have an application that is reading the file and needs to know, read the first six bytes of the file and act

The main reason why we take 512, 768, 1024, 2048, 4096,... bit is, that these numbers are multiples of 8 ans though can be fractioned into bytes (1024 bit = 128 byte). Withe the increase of calculation power the key size was increased, in the end by doubling the number of bits. To answer our secon

It probably is 1023 bit, but you can think of that as being 1024 bit with the top bit zero. Since the modulus is effectively random (the product or two randomly chosen large primes) then it makes sense that some of the generated moduli will not completely fill the 1024 bits, just as choosing a num

I believe it's a matter of efficiency. There are optimisations that can be performed on the math of integers of length power-of-2. It's possible that there are implementations out there that won't work with non-standard sizes. I have seen 4096 bit keys in the wild. In fact, the Microsoft Root C
