RSA Practice Problems Online

Solving which of the following problems would allow one to break RSA encryption?

Alice chooses a public key of \(n=187\) and \(e=3\). What is her private key?

Bob's public key is \(426759435605268851\) and \(e=3\). Alice uses ASCII encryption and sends the ciphertext \(c=298049520771754739\). Which of the following was Alice's original message?

Mallory discovers many public keys, including the following:

\(n=70441807\), \(e=3\)
\(n=10645627\), \(e=17\)
\(n=63339281\), \(e=65537\)
\(n=24864431\), \(e=257\)
\(n=89221291\), \(e=17\)

What number can Mallory discover is the prime factor of one (or more) of these keys, without needing to factor any of them, making use of a vulnerability of RSA?

Knowing which of the following would allow an attacker to efficiently break the RSA encryption?
