| Jun 24, 2019 at 9:57 | comment | added | Maarten Bodewes♦ | In practice, you cannot switch the public and private keys of RSA either. You've got CRT, small public exponents, libraries that will wrongly apply padding, exponentiation that doesn't protect the public exponent against side channel attacks, etc. . Many libraries don't even except large public exponents, and those are of course a requirement to use the public key as private key. Java's JCA lib simply flat out rejects public keys used instead of private keys, so you don't make this mistake. | |
