# Tahoe's original use of pycryptopp would use cryptopp's default
# public_exponent, which is 17
#
# Thus, we are using 17 here as well. However, there are other
# choices; see this for more discussion:
# https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/2335/should-rsa-public-exponent-be-only-in-3-5-17-257-or-65537-due-to-security-c
#
# Another popular choice is 65537. See:
# https://cryptography.io/en/latest/hazmat/primitives/asymmetric/rsa/#cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.rsa.generate_private_key
