Jan 30, 2017 at 3:14 comment added Carl Knox $ed'=1 \bmod n$ won't decrypt correctly, however, there are multiple $d'$ which will decrypt all messages for a given $n$. The challenge to find $d'$ is equally hard as to find $d$.
Jan 30, 2017 at 3:06 comment added Carl Knox Also, the private key is $(n,d)$, not $(\varphi(n),d)$.

May 14, 2015 at 13:33 comment added poncho Becsuse $ed'-1$ is (in general) not a multiple of the order of the group, which is $lcm(p-1,q-1)$
May 14, 2015 at 13:32 comment added Louise Why doesn't $M^{ed'}=M^{1} \mod n$ (because $ed' = 1 \mod n)$?

use standard notation
May 14, 2015 at 13:30 comment added poncho In the example you cited $8^{26} = 47 \bmod 187$, and not $2$
May 14, 2015 at 13:29 comment added SEJPM An attacker could compute $d'$, but that wouldn't help him anything, because you need the special relation mentioned in your question for the decryption using $d$ to work ($ed\equiv 1 \pmod{\phi(n)}$)
