Hi guys,
I am trying to generate a certificate for signing the URL for the Archivelink interface.
The documentation stated that the public exponent has to be equal to (2^16)+1.
Does anybody know how important that condition is? The reason I am asking is that it is easy to create an RSA key with a given exponent but it is either not possible or not that simple in case of DSA key.
I haven't explored all the possibilities for this but my preliminary attempts at it were producing invalid keys that failed during signing or verification.
Is it a requirement that the 'y' value (public key exponent) of DSA parameters must be equal to 2^16 + 1, and if so are there any inputs for the other DSA parameters like 'p', 'q', and 'g'?
kind regards
