In this paper, we study the application of the function field sieve algorithm for computing discrete logarithms over finite fields of the form Fqn when q is a medium-sized prime po...
We define the weight of an integer N to be the smallest w such that N can be represented as w i=1 i2ci , with 1,..., w{1,-1}. Since arithmetic modulo a prime of low weight is parti...
We present an algorithm that finds polynomials with many roots modulo many primes by rotating candidate Number Field Sieve polynomials using the Chinese Remainder Theorem. We also...
Using a number field sieve, discrete logarithms modulo primes of special forms can be found faster than standard primes. This has raised concerns about trapdoors in discrete log cr...
