I have posted this before in a linkedin group. It is really interesting
the Mr, *Blaine Bateman* (also linkedin group member)
"Then what happened is some arrogant scientist at NIST (full disclosure--I
was formerly a NIST employee, and the terms of my departure still burn as a
fire in the pit of my stomach) conveniently "forgot" to put the correct
ones in the standard, or did it on purpose since "Anyone of modest skill in
cryptography will detect the problem and come up with their own P-Q pair
correctly. Anyone who doesn't deserves what they get." There are, in my
estimation, people that arrogant employed by NIST."
No good. No.
