BTW: 10 is not a generator over 307
Go figure I started coding a Python script to find a prime for which 10 was a 'prime root' (but didn't finish it due to lack of time and coding skills hahaha)

Only precisation, Alice would refuse the message as not true because public key is not valid - anybody tried to check if the verify works? Since the 'prime root' condition is not satisfied, it shouldn't...
