Is there a reason 3072-bit or 2560-bit RSA keys can't be used?

- userbinator 11y agoRSA doesn't restrict key sizes to powers of 2, but powers of 2 are more optimised for implementation. http://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/7849/why-are-rsa-key-sizes-almost-always-a-power-of-two http://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/7849/why-are-rsa-k...
- jason_s 11y agothe answers you linked to cite key sizes of c * 2^k where c = 1,3,or 5 -- like 3072 = 3 * 1024, 2560 = 5 * 512.
