What I was talking about is a installed certificate's public key. It has nothing in common with any of my certificates (I even don't need to have a certificate to use it). The public key is built for RSA (1024bits) algorithm meaning that to decript a message (doesn't matter which one) encripted by the corresponding private key one needs to use this public key. The question is what those 96 odd bits that exist in the key?
