The number field sieve for integers of low weight
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...

Using number fields to compute logarithms in finite fields
We describe an adaptation of the number field sieve to the problem of computing logarithms in a finite field. We conjecture that the running time of the algorithm, when restricted ...
