RSA : public exponent: 65537

843811May 13 2005

Hi!

When i create a RSA-Key with

KeyPairGenerator generator = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");
generator.initialize(1024); // Key length
KeyPair pair = generator.genKeyPair();

the public exponent is always 65537 (=2^16+1; i know, it's fast if you compute c=m^e mod n by fast exponentation).
Is this standard? Sorry, but i can't find some papers about this.

Thanks, Schubb
