Common Modulus Attack
In this blog we are going to take a look at one of the popular attacks on RSA, Common Modulus Attack. As the name suggests, this attack works when a common modulus but different encryption exponents such that their gcd is 1 are used. Let us consider a scenario for better understanding. Person A wants … Continue reading Common Modulus Attack
