I'm reading the tutorial, and browsing some tags - good to see topics with substance - thehumancondition, religion, art.. I'm not religious, but discussing theology is a nice change from talking about Prism or the NSA all day long.. -

How much faster ? - If it takes possibly hours for 2048 bit keys , how long would it take with openSsl ? ( minutes ? seconds ? ) - Personally I'm interested in getting the most minimal rsa working , regardless of speed, and then work towards optimizing.. while maintaining a minimal framework.. - Although, my first language is 80x86 asm, I want to completely stay away from machine language, and see what is possible with carefully thought out C code.. In any case, I'm very excited by your post - I've literally been looking for something like this for years.. -

H0wdy.. This post really caught my attention - as I've been dreaming of implementing RSA into my boost killer library for sometime, without depending on openssl or any libs of any kind - Do you have a final source for your hex bignum code included with the rsa code code ?

Thank you by the way MK
