The vast majority of file formats begin with a header that is similar or

RSA private key is a set of big numbers: n,d,e,p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp.
(this is not one number).
When this numbers
I am not familar with ASN.1, or any of the specifice of which the rsa
key is generated. It just seemed as it should not be so.
What is the ASN.1 encoding, and how is it used?

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
Looks like this may be the issue, a flaw in the key generation algorithm.

These are the first few bytes of the key. Here they are from 10 keys
generated with the command: openssl genrsa -rand /dev/urandom

could you post the bytes that you're referring to. (my guess is that
it's t
