I'm new to cryptography, so please don't bash me.
I'm trying to learn to recover a RSA private key. As you can see from my profile I'm a cybersecurity professional, which is only now trying to learn some cryptography..
Let's assume we have 5 message and public keys derived from the same string message. It is short (the string content and keys), 1024-bit public key and a public exponent of either 5 or 65537 is being used for ALL the public keys.
How would you approach this problem?
I read that this falls either under too small or too big public exponent category and hence the owiener package on PyPi should be ideal for it.
I tried Garner's formula, Owiener package on PyPi and CRT and none of them worked apparently :( I mostly got division by zero errors.
I am a hands-on person that tried this in practice - I used openssl for producing the keys and content. I would appreciate some guidance in the right direction.
I have the following:
- ciphertext
- 5 moduli from the key
- 5 public exponents from the keys (I think I found a bug in OpenSSL though, that's why two exponents and this is all for learning anyways)
