The number field sieve is an algorithm for finding the prime factors of large integers. It depends on algebraic number theory. Proposed by John Pollard in 1988, the method was used in 1990 to factor the ninth Fermat number, a 155-digit integer. The algorithm is most suited to numbers of a special form, but there is a promising variant that applies in general. This volume contains six research papers that describe the operation of the number field sieve, from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Pollard's original manuscript is included. In addition, there is an annotated bibliography of directly related literature.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 32nd Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2012, held in Santa Barbara, CA, USA, in August 2012. The 48 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 225 submissions. The volume also contains the abstracts of two invited talks. The papers are organized in topical sections on symmetric cryptosystems, secure computation, attribute-based and functional encryption, proofs systems, protocols, hash functions, composable security, privacy, leakage and side-channels, signatures, implementation analysis, black-box separation, cryptanalysis, quantum cryptography, and key encapsulation and one-way functions.
The area of computational cryptography is dedicated to the development of effective methods in algorithmic number theory that improve implementation of cryptosystems or further their cryptanalysis. This book is a tribute to Arjen K. Lenstra, one of the key contributors to the field, on the occasion of his 65th birthday, covering his best-known scientific achievements in the field. Students and security engineers will appreciate this no-nonsense introduction to the hard mathematical problems used in cryptography and on which cybersecurity is built, as well as the overview of recent advances on how to solve these problems from both theoretical and practical applied perspectives. Beginning with polynomials, the book moves on to the celebrated Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovász lattice reduction algorithm, and then progresses to integer factorization and the impact of these methods to the selection of strong cryptographic keys for usage in widely used standards.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium, ANTS-IV, held in Leiden, The Netherlands, in July 2000. The book presents 36 contributed papers which have gone through a thorough round of reviewing, selection and revision. Also included are 4 invited survey papers. Among the topics addressed are gcd algorithms, primality, factoring, sieve methods, cryptography, linear algebra, lattices, algebraic number fields, class groups and fields, elliptic curves, polynomials, function fields, and power sums.
The first book to offer a comprehensive view of the LLL algorithm, this text surveys computational aspects of Euclidean lattices and their main applications. It includes many detailed motivations, explanations and examples.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Information Security Applications, WISA 2005, held in Jeju Island, Korea, in August 2005. The 29 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 168 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on security analysis and attacks, systems security, network security, DRM/software security, efficient HW implementation, side-channel attacks, privacy/anonymity, and efficient implementation.
The mathematical theory and practice of cryptography and coding underpins the provision of effective security and reliability for data communication, processing, and storage. Theoretical and implementational advances in the fields of cryptography and coding are therefore a key factor in facilitating the growth of data communications and data networks of various types. Thus, this Eight International Conference in an established and successful IMA series on the theme of “Cryptography and Coding” was both timely and relevant. The theme of this conference was the future of coding and cryptography, which was touched upon in presentations by a number of invited speakers and researchers. The pa...
INDOCRYPT 2001, the Second Annual Crypto Conference, is proof of the s- ni?cant amount of enthusiasm generated among Indian as well as International crypto communities. INDOCRYPT 2001 was organized by the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras and the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, also located in Madras (now Chennai). This event was enthusiastically co-sponsored by eAl- traz ConsultingPrivate Ltd, Chennai, Odyssey Technologies Ltd, Chennai, and Shanmuga Arts Science Technology and Research Academy (SASTRA), Th- javur. The Program Committee Co-chair, Prof.C.Pandu Rangan was responsible for local organization and registration. The Program Committee considered 77 papers and selected 31 pa...
Now in its third edition, this highly successful textbook is widely regarded as the 'bible of computer algebra'.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptographic Techniques, EUROCRYPT 2000, held in Bruges, Belgium, in May 2000. The 39 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from a total of 150 submissions during a highly competitive reviewing process. The book is divided in topical sections of factoring and discrete logarithm, digital signatures, private information retrieval, key management protocols, threshold cryptography, public-key encryption, quantum cryptography, multi-party computation and information theory, zero-knowledge, symmetric cryptography, Boolean functions and hardware, voting schemes, and stream ciphers and block ciphers.
