No, I never said anything about Weak keys, nor did I ever say that what I chose was a strong key. I just showed, as I stated, "An Example" of an RSA key. Please do not put words in my mouth. I agree that the myth of only one decryption exponent is a bad thing to keep going. I, however, was only trying to give an example of how RSA works, with numbers, rather than prove that certain sets of RSA numbers give weak keys. And I'm also sure that you can much more easily find a set of weak keys than you can find strong keys, but let's not get into that argument, please! Thank you for pointing this out to people. -derek
