RSA.java

Below is the syntax highlighted version of RSA.java from §5.6 Cryptography.

/******************************************************************************
 *  Compilation:  javac RSA.java
 *  Execution:    java RSA N
 *  
 *  Generate an N-bit public and private RSA key and use to encrypt
 *  and decrypt a random message.
 * 
 *  % java RSA 50
 *  public  = 65537
 *  private = 553699199426609
 *  modulus = 825641896390631
 *  message   = 48194775244950
 *  encrpyted = 321340212160104
 *  decrypted = 48194775244950
 *
 *  Known bugs (not addressed for simplicity)
 *  -----------------------------------------
 *  - It could be the case that the message >= modulus. To avoid, use
 *    a do-while loop to generate key until modulus happen to be exactly N bits.
 *
 *  - It's possible that gcd(phi, publicKey) != 1 in which case
 *    the key generation fails. This will only happen if phi is a
 *    multiple of 65537. To avoid, use a do-while loop to generate
 *    keys until the gcd is 1.
