| What started as an attempt to investigate how cryptographic smart cards are generating RSA key pairs ended as surprising resulting showing that library or device responsible for generating given key can be identified - based on public key only. Simply put, if you have RSA public key, we can say which library generated it. And we got [[https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity16/technical-sessions/presentation/svenda | Best Paper Award]] out of it at [[https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity16 | 25th USENIX Security Symposium]], 2016.
