Re: generating RSA keypair with non-standard public exponents

Thank-you for your thorough answer, Dave (and sorry for the top-posting - I wanted to have your message preserved for Felix and Rajiv). The ica maintainer (in cc) and I were discussing if there is some value in aborting RSA_Generate_key() used by libica to generate keys. Libica is a crypto li

I noted that when generating a RSA public key pair using a non-standard public exponent (particularly, 65538, or 0x01, 0x00,0x02), the RSA_generate_key never returns, and the program keeps using 100% CPU until I kill it. My question is: Is this behavior expected? If some non-standard publ. ex
