<SatNiGHTS> we need to make a PKI pop-up book.
<SatNiGHTS> seuss-it-up
<thebug> cat in the rsa hat
<muchomas> ...and then the Grinch initializes h[0..7] with the first 32 bits of the frational parts of the first 8 primes
<muchomas> excuse me, the fractional parts of the square roots of the first 8 primes
<kp> oh, wouldn't it be sublime, to have a p and q that are sufficently large and prime; we can take a plaintext you see, and apply our algorithm with our public key! but to go back is might prove a difficult climate, instead our key must be private--and we need not compete, trying will turn you as white as a sheet as long as something can prove RSA to be np-complete!
