"I couldn't come up with an an attack vector, but I didn’t try very hard."
Would it be feasible to exploit the fact that this trick relies on primes very close to each other?
- Dylan16807 11y agoIn what way does it do that? It starts with two fully random primes and then fixes some of the bits in the middle of one. Then it adjusts the lowest bits to make it prime again. Almost all of that prime is still random, and it's still within a tiny fraction of a percent of its original value.
