Broken RSA
We need to recover the plaintext from the incorrectly generated RSA parameters, in this case, e = 16 and the modulo n is a prime. As the public exponent and the totient of n is not coprime, this implies The first, and intended solution is to take advantage of the fact that e = 2 ^ 4, hence we only need to calculate the square root of the plaintext in the finite field four times....
