Split Knowledge Generation of RSA Parameters

We show how it is possible for two parties to co-operate in generating the parameters for an RSA encryption system in such a way that neither individually has the ability to decrypt enciphered data. In order to decrypt data the two parties instead follow the co-operative procedure described.
