Meet in the middle attack on textbook RSA

Textbook RSA meet-in-the-middle Attack

D. Boneh, A. Joux, and Q. Nguyen showed that textbook RSA is susceptible to meet-in-the-middle attacks. Given , the following conditions must hold for the attack to be feasible:

• 
• , s.t.

rsa-meet-in-middle.c and rsa-meet-in-middle-parallelized.c are sample implementations in C and depend on GMP.
