How to calculate D for RSA encryption from P,Q and E

Question

I am trying to find D using P,Q and E (Dp, Dq and (p-1mod q) are available too).

According to this answer and this answer and update for this question using following method I should get D.

To test this I generated Key pair and tried to calculate components from existing ones and compare the result with originals. All the results are good except for D. there is something wrong with my calculation which I copied from above answers. it would be great if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Answer 1

First you need to verify that GCD(e, φ) = 1 because d only exists if that property holds. Then calculate the modular multiplicative inverse of e modulo phi which I describe in my answer to "1/BigInteger in C#".

Your code seems to assume that e^(φ(n)-1) mod φ(n) is that inverse, but that's incorrect. I think the correct formula would be e^(φ(φ(n))-1) mod φ(n), but that's inconvenient to use since you only know φ(n) but not φ(φ(n)).

I recommend using the Extended Euclidean algorithm by porting the wikipedia pseudocode to C#.

---

As a side-note: There are often multiple equivalent values for d since you don't need e*d mod φ(n)=1 but just e*d mod λ(n)=1 where λ is the Carmichael function see "Why RSA encryption key is based on modulo(phi(n)) rather than modulo n" on crypto.SE

Answer 2

Extended Euclidean algorithm can be used to compute the modular inverse, use this link: http://www.di-mgt.com.au/euclidean.html#extendedeuclidean to get the detail, I tested the source code in C# as below, and the result is matching,

public static BigInteger modinv(BigInteger u, BigInteger v)
{
   BigInteger inv, u1, u3, v1, v3, t1, t3, q;
   BigInteger iter;
   /* Step X1. Initialise */
   u1 = 1;
   u3 = u;
   v1 = 0;
   v3 = v;
   /* Remember odd/even iterations */
   iter = 1;
   /* Step X2. Loop while v3 != 0 */
   while (v3 != 0)
   {
       /* Step X3. Divide and "Subtract" */
       q = u3 / v3;
       t3 = u3 % v3;
       t1 = u1 + q * v1;
       /* Swap */
       u1 = v1; v1 = t1; u3 = v3; v3 = t3;
       iter = -iter;
   }
   /* Make sure u3 = gcd(u,v) == 1 */
   if (u3 != 1)
       return 0;   /* Error: No inverse exists */
       /* Ensure a positive result */
       if (iter < 0)
           inv = v - u1;
       else
           inv = u1;
       return inv;
}
