In RFC 2313 (PKCS1/RSA) said you could recreate the Private key from ‘n’ and ‘d’, which later versions removed. Why? [migrated]

RFC 2313 has this specific callout:
1. An RSA private key logically consists of only the
modulus n and the private exponent d. The presence of the
values p, q, d mod (p-1), d mod (p-1), and q-1 mod p is
int… Continue reading In RFC 2313 (PKCS1/RSA) said you could recreate the Private key from ‘n’ and ‘d’, which later versions removed. Why? [migrated]→

To clarify: The FIPS module Security Policy lists using RSA keys for wrap/unwrap. FIPS is a moving target, and the state of the requirements when the CMVP approved module went through the process was such, that a given key’s "usage&… Continue reading Is it (under FIPS) possible to generate a CSR for an asymmetric key with usage=WRAP?→
