X-Original-To: cryptography@metzdowd.com Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:07:18 +0100 From: Ralph Holz <ralph-cryptometzger@ralphholz.de> To: cryptography@metzdowd.com Errors-To: cryptography-bounces+crypto.discuss=bloom-picayune.mit.edu@metzdowd.com Hi, the two most common exponents that one finds in X.509 RSA certs are 65537 and 17 -- in my data, they account for near 100%. Have these been chosen as the result of some standardisation and was there some cryptographic reasoning behind it, or is it simply that any exponent will do? Any performance issues?
