An important component of the index calculus methods for finding discrete logarithms is the acquisition of smooth polynomial relations. Gordon and McCurley (1992) developed a sieve...
Most public key crypto systems use finite field modulo arithmetic. This modulo arithmetic is applied on real numbers, binary values and polynomial functions. The computation cost ...
A cryptographic pairing evaluates as an element of a finite extension field, and the evaluation itself involves a considerable amount of extension field arithmetic. It is recogn...
In this contribution we introduce a low-complexity bit-parallel algorithm for computing square roots over binary extension fields. Our proposed method can be applied for any type ...
We investigate constructions of pseudorandom generators that fool polynomial tests of degree d in m variables over finite fields F. Our main construction gives a generator with se...
