What does the acronym "CRT" stand for in the PKCS #1 specification? What does the acronym "CRT" stand for in the PKCS #1 specification?  Does it stand for "Chinese Remainder Theorem"?

Thanks,

Pete
Yes. I haven't heard any other possible CRT acronym in direct relation to RSA. Sometimes it is used as file extension for certificates, but those are not addressed in the PKCS#1 standard.


  This specification supports so-called "multi-prime" RSA where the
     modulus may have more than two prime factors.  The benefit of multi-
     prime RSA is lower computational cost for the decryption and
     signature primitives, provided that the CRT (Chinese Remainder
     Theorem) is used.


Besides that, CRT is always used when pointing out the CRT parameters throughout the standard.
