We describe an enhanced version of the TWINKLE factoring device and analyse to what extent it can be expected to speed up the sieving step of the Quadratic Sieve and Number Field S...
A novel portable hardware architecture of the Elliptic Curve Method of factoring, designed and optimized for application in the relation collection step of the Number Field Sieve,...

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...
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...
Significant progress in the design of special purpose hardware for supporting the Number Field Sieve (NFS) has been made. From a practical cryptanalytic point of view, however, no...
