yah, you can tell when i get bored at work. plus, it was better then posting rsasecurity.com

does it matter what number e is as long as it's relatively prime to phi?

nope. alot of people use something like 2^32 +1 or something (i don't really remember) becuase its faster to do the calculations

Also, I thought that to calculate d you use the formula (e*d - 1) (mod phi) = 0. I've been trying to figure this out using small prime numbers, but I can't quite figure it out...

i don't remember. i think you want to solve e*d = 1 (mod phi) using the euclidean, but i don't remember how.
if you drop me an email if you really want to know, i can look through my notes and remember how to do that. ouch, its been a while. it may take me a few days to get back to you.
