OpenSSL "genpkey -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_pubexp:1" - Bad RSA Key
Can I use 1 as the public exponent to generate an RSA private key?
✍: FYIcenter.com
No. Using public exponent of 1 will generate identical RSA private key and public key
as shown below:
C:\Users\fyicenter>\local\openssl\openssl OpenSSL> genpkey -algorithm rsa -out rsa_test.key -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:256 -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_pubexp:1 .........+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ................+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ OpenSSL> pkey -in rsa_test.key -text -noout Private-Key: (256 bit) modulus: 00:9c:e6:28:67:b8:c5:7c:fa:a6:67:bc:b4:e9:eb: 64:1d:06:37:d4:a6:f7:9d:20:2d:79:6b:aa:90:ea: c7:d1:1d publicExponent: 1 (0x1) privateExponent: 1 (0x1) prime1: 00:d0:28:ab:a1:8f:18:a1:19:68:e7:7b:2d:60:e7: a1:0d prime2: 00:c0:f5:8a:ac:a2:52:4f:07:aa:80:e7:c1:fc:e6: 4c:51 exponent1: 1 (0x1) exponent2: 1 (0x1) coefficient: 2b:77:16:b9:cb:e8:56:06:08:75:20:58:14:09:b8: 2f
What this test tells us:
⇒ OpenSSL "genpkey -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_pubexp:2" Runs Forever
⇐ OpenSSL "genpkey -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_pubexp:3" - RSA Public Exponent
