Task 621: .RSA File Format
Task 621: .RSA File Format
- List of properties of the .RSA file format:
- version: An integer indicating the version (typically 0 for two-prime RSA).
- modulus (n): A large integer representing the product of the two primes.
- publicExponent (e): An integer representing the public exponent (commonly 65537).
- privateExponent (d): A large integer representing the private exponent.
- prime1 (p): The first prime factor.
- prime2 (q): The second prime factor.
- exponent1 (dp): d mod (p-1).
- exponent2 (dq): d mod (q-1).
- coefficient (qi): The modular inverse of q modulo p.
- otherPrimeInfos: Optional sequence for additional primes in multi-prime RSA (rarely used).
These properties are based on the ASN.1 structure for RSAPrivateKey as defined in PKCS#1 (RFC 3447). .RSA files are typically PEM-encoded (base64-wrapped DER) RSA private keys, but the core structure is the same.
- Two direct download links for .RSA files:
- https://sources.debian.org/data/main/r/rust-hyper-rustls/0.27.7-2/examples/sample.rsa
- https://gitlab.insa-rennes.fr/dletinau/TP_SEE/-/raw/6b4147db745322a29874fafa2f8084dcdd38e7ce/srv/nfs/rootfs-armv7/etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key.rsa
