Abstract
We show that using character sum estimates due to H. Iwaniec leads to an improvement of recent results about the distribution and finding RSA moduli M=plM=pl, where pp and ll are primes, with prescribed bit patterns. We are now able to specify about nn bits instead of about n/2n/2 bits as in the previous work. We also show that the same result of H. Iwaniec can be used to obtain an unconditional version of a combinatorial result of W. de Launey and D. Gordon that was originally derived under the Extended Riemann Hypothesis.
