Speed improvements and bug fixes in ciphers/rsa_factorization.py

Open swenson opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

  • Using (g ** t) % N is significantly slower than pow(g, t, N) as the values get larger. Replacing this allows even large examples to run nearly instantly.
  • Added doctests from the cited sources
  • Remove unnecessary extra while/if.
  • Added a ValueError if the arguments are invalid. e * d % ((p - 1) * (q - 1)) should be equal to 1, where p and q are primes greater than 2. Hence, (p - 1) * (q - 1) is even, and e * d - 1 will also be even if they are valid.

I'm going to close this as I realize that the amount of duplication and bad code in this repository means that the maintainers aren't really concerned about quality of entries, performance, usability, or much of anything else, so there's not much of a need for this PR.
