# Baby RSA

![Challenge Description](BabyRSA.png)

We are provided with 2 files. One is a script containing an implementation of the RSA cryptosystem. Another one is the output of the script

```bash
baby_rsa.py
output.txt
```

## Implementation

```python
#!/usr/bin/python

from Crypto.Util.number import *
import random
from flag import flag

nbit = 512
while True:
p = getPrime(nbit)
q = getPrime(nbit)
e, n = 65537, p*q
phi = (p-1)*(q-1)
d = inverse(e, phi)
r = random.randint(12, 19)
if (d-1) % (1 << r) == 0:
break

s, t = random.randint(1, min(p, q)), random.randint(1, min(p, q))
t_p = pow(s*p + 1, (d-1)/(1 << r), n)
t_q = pow(t*q + 4, (d-1)/(1 << r), n)

print 'n =', n
print 't_p =', t_p
print 't_q =', t_q
print 'enc =', pow(bytes_to_long(flag), e, n)
```

We are provided the values of n, t_p, t_q, enc in the output file.

## Cracking the implementation

One thing we need to observe here is the relation between n and t_p.

```python
n = p * q
t_p = pow(s*p + 1, (d-1)/(1 << r), n)
```

We can observe that t_p = 1mod(p) (Since all the other terms except 1 in the expansion of pow(s*p + 1, (d-1)/(1 << r)) would be divisible by p)

This means (t_p - 1) is a multiple of p. Since n is also a multiple of p, the GCD of (t_p - 1) and n should be equal to p.

[This](crack.py) script can calculate the flag from the provided inputs.

```python3
>>> from Crypto.Util.number import *
>>> from math import gcd
>>> n = 10594734342063566757448883321293669290587889620265586736339477212834603215495912433611144868846006156969270740855007264519632640641698642134252272607634933572167074297087706060885814882562940246513589425206930711731882822983635474686630558630207534121750609979878270286275038737837128131581881266426871686835017263726047271960106044197708707310947840827099436585066447299264829120559315794262731576114771746189786467883424574016648249716997628251427198814515283524719060137118861718653529700994985114658591731819116128152893001811343820147174516271545881541496467750752863683867477159692651266291345654483269128390649
