Thanks all for the great feedback. I have updated the diagram such that: 1) Ya != Xb and Yb != Xa. ;and 2) definition of Prime and Generator is a lot clearer Please review once again: http://www.xml-dev.com/blog/?action=viewtopic&id=196 On 1/10/06, Hall, Carl <carl_hall () homedepot com> wrote:
Actually, the values you picked worked fine. 5 is indeed a primitive root of 7 (or "generator" of 7 using Sanjay's terms). As long as Xa < T and Xb < T, you're fine.

I am working to improve the diagram :-) A lot of people email me asking to select R and T, Xa and Xb such that: Ya != Xb and Yb != Xa. Any suggestions for the value of R, T, and Xa and Xb . I would like to keep the number small enough for people to do the calculation without the use of a electronic device.
