+ * Compute RSA prime factors from public and private exponents
+ *
+ * Summary of algorithm:
+ * Setting F := lcm(P-1,Q-1), the idea is as follows:
+ *
+ * (a) For any 1 <= X < N with gcd(X,N)=1, we have X^F = 1 modulo N, so X^(F/2)
+ *     is a square root of 1 in Z/NZ. Since Z/NZ ~= Z/PZ x Z/QZ by CRT and the
+ *     square roots of 1 in Z/PZ and Z/QZ are +1 and -1, this leaves the four
+ *     possibilities X^(F/2) = (+-1, +-1). If it happens that X^(F/2) = (-1,+1)
+ *     or (+1,-1), then gcd(X^(F/2) + 1, N) will be equal to one of the prime
+ *     factors of N.
+ *
+ * (b) If we don't know F/2 but (F/2) * K for some odd (!) K, then the same
+ *     construction still applies since (-)^K is the identity on the set of
+ *     roots of 1 in Z/NZ.
+ *
+ * The public and private key primitives (-)^E and (-)^D are mutually inverse
+ * bijections on Z/NZ if and only if (-)^(DE) is the identity on Z/NZ, i.e.
+ * if and only if DE - 1 is a multiple of F, say DE - 1 = F * L.
+ * Splitting L = 2^t * K with K odd, we have
+ *
+ *   DE - 1 = FL = (F/2) * (2^(t+1)) * K,
+ *
+ * so (F / 2) * K is among the numbers
+ *
+ *   (DE - 1) >> 1, (DE - 1) >> 2, ..., (DE - 1) >> ord
+ *
+ * where ord is the order of 2 in (DE - 1).
+ * We can therefore iterate through these numbers apply the construction
+ * of (a) and (b) above to attempt to factor N.
