[viff-devel] Distributed RSA

[Martin Geisler]

Hi Atle and hi list,

You might have looked at this paper already, but I was talking with
Gert Mikkelsen today about RSA, and he pointed me to a paper with a
protocol for distributed generation of RSA keys:

  Dan Boneh, Matthew K. Franklin: Efficient Generation of Shared RSA
  Keys (Extended Abstract). CRYPTO 1997: 425-439

It might be possible to implement this protocol directly in VIFF,
instead of building things from scratch.

The paper can be found here:
