From the article: “When e = 3, or a similarly small number, many things can go wrong.“
This seems to be an oblique reference to the attack you were referring to.
- lvh 7y agoThe textbook e=3 attack is Hastad's broadcast attack (on textbook RSA), which is much simpler than the e=3 signature verification problem. (So the article is right that _lots_ of things go wrong, 'tptacek's example is just more exciting and mine is easier to grok :-))
