OpenSSL "genpkey -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_pubexp:2" Runs Forever
What will happen if I use 2 as the public exponent to generate an RSA private key?
✍: FYIcenter.com
OpenSSL will run forever, if you use 2 as the public exponent to generate an RSA private key,
because OpenSSL can no find any private exponent to meet the RSA requirements.
See the test below:
C:\Users\fyicenter>\local\openssl\openssl OpenSSL> genpkey -algorithm rsa -out rsa_test.key -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:256 -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_pubexp:2 ....+++++++++++++++++++++++++++*....+++++++++++++++++++++++++++*.....+++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++*...+++++++++++++++++++++++++++*..+++++++++++++++++++++++++++*.. ..........+++++++++++++++++++++++++++*....+++++++++++++++++++++++++++*...+++++++ .... (running forever)
What this test tells us:
⇒ OpenSSL "genpkey -des" - DES Encrypt RSA Keys
⇐ OpenSSL "genpkey -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_pubexp:1" - Bad RSA Key
