Provide BigInteger alternative #26

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
As noted in issue 21, GWT compiles a non-performant BigInteger 
(https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=8310). This 
results in RSA key generation taking hours or days when running in production 
mode.

Without waiting for GWT core to fix this, one potential way forward would be to 
wrap jsbn.js (http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/jsbn/) with a JSNI 
BigInteger, and use that instead in the RSA algorithms.

(For reference, Forge, which uses jsbn.js, can create 2048 bit RSA keypairs in 
a minute or two.)

https://code.google.com/p/gwt-math/ may be an alternative to use BigInteger
