Dec 21, 2012 at 18:21	comment	added	Nik Bougalis		That's a fair point; I could have added a note about that, but the fact is that $P$ and $Q$ should be kept secret is well known and the original question was: "Why is it important that $ϕ(n)$ is kept a secret, in RSA?"
Dec 21, 2012 at 9:07	comment	added	Paŭlo Ebermann		This misses a bit about "why do we need these primes to be secret". RSA's goal is not to hide the factorization, but to be a trapdoor one-way function.
