ABSTRACT:
In a method of determining a pair of numbers comprising a first number and a second number, in which the first number may be a first key and the second number may be a second key of an encryption system and the second number is the multiplicative inverse with respect to a modulus of the first number, said modulus being equal to the product of a first prime number and a second prime number, the first number is selected first. Thereafter, a first sub-number for the second number is computed as a multiplicative inverse of the first number with respect to a first sub-modulus that is equal to the first prime number minus 1 divided by the greatest common divisor of the first prime number minus 1 and the second prime number minus 1. Then, a second sub-number for the second number is computed as multiplicative inverse of the first number with respect to a second sub-modulus that is equal to the second prime number minus 1, with said first sub-modulus and said second sub-modulus being relatively prime. Finally, the second number is determined using the first sub-number and the second sub-number by means of the Chinese remainder theorem. By utilization of the Chinese remainder theorem, the operation of forming the multiplicative inverse is transformed to two corresponding operations with shorter numbers and a fast combination step, so that an acceleration by the factor of 4 is obtained as compared to a method without Chinese remainder theorem.
