1. A method of cracking a private key of an asymmetric cryptosystem, the method comprising:
extracting a modulus and a public key exponent from a public key;
performing modulo division on the modulus;
deriving a set of candidate base pairs corresponding to a result of the modulo division, each of the candidate base pairs including a first candidate base and a second candidate base;
iteratively testing values of a multiplier until a sum of one of the candidate bases with a multiple of the multiplier is a factor of the modulus; and
determining the private key using the public key exponent and the factor of the modulus.
