    q: &BoxedUint,
    exp: &BoxedUint,
) -> Result<BoxedUint>
Expand description

Compute the private exponent from its primes (p and q) and public exponent

This is using the method defined by NIST 800-56B Section 6.2.1. (Carmichael function)

FIPS 186-4 requires the private exponent to be less than λ(n), which would make Euler’s totiem unreliable.
