A good analysis of various DH implementations. Some misconfigurations pointed out in the paper are: p is composite, p-1 contains no large prime factor, q is used instead of the generator g.

This paper shows that OAEP is susceptible to a chosen ciphertext attack if error messages distinguish between different failure conditions.
