## 🔐 Encryption Challenge (Quantum Factoring)
16
15
17
-
The encrypted payload can only be unlocked by factoring an RSA-2048 modulus n. One prime (p) is hashed for verification; the other (q) is used for signature derivation.
18

19
-
### Solve Instructions
20
-
21
-
1. Factor RSA modulus n into primes p and q
22
-
2. Confirm SHA-512 of p matches the hash commitment
23
-
3. Use p to derive a Fernet key via HKDF-SHA256
24
-
4. Decrypt the encrypted payload with that key

2. Verify `SHA-512(p)` matches the on-chain commitment.
21
+
3. Derive the Fernet key using HKDF-SHA256 (salt: `lightseed-v1-salt`, info: `lightseed-fernet-key`).
22
