The discrete logarithm problem in a finite group is the basis for many protocols in cryptography. The best general algorithms which solve this problem have time complexity of $\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{N}\log N)$, and a space complexity of…
The Discrete Logarithm Problem is well-known among cryptographers, for its computational hardness that grants security to some of the most commonly used cryptosystems these days. Still, many of these are limited to a small number of…
We describe an efficient quantum algorithm for computing discrete logarithms in semigroups using Shor's algorithms for period finding and discrete log as subroutines. Thus proposed cryptosystems based on the presumed hardness of discrete…
We give deterministic polynomial-time algorithms that, given an order, compute the primitive idempotents and determine a set of generators for the group of roots of unity in the order. Also, we show that the discrete logarithm problem in…
We prove that the discrete logarithm problem can be solved in quasi-polynomial expected time in the multiplicative group of finite fields of fixed characteristic. More generally, we prove that it can be solved in the field of cardinality…
The discrete logarithm problem is one of the backbones in public key cryptography. In this paper we study the discrete logarithm problem in the group of circulant matrices over a finite field. This gives rise to secure and fast public key…
Given a cryptographic group action, we show that the Group Action Inverse Problem (GAIP) and other related problems cannot be NP-hard unless the Polynomial Hierarchy collapses. We show this via random self-reductions and the design of…
A digital computer is generally believed to be an efficient universal computing device; that is, it is believed able to simulate any physical computing device with an increase in computation time of at most a polynomial factor. This may not…
For $q$ a prime power, the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ consists in finding, for any $g \in \mathbb{F}_{q}^{\times}$ and $h \in \langle g \rangle$, an integer $x$ such that $g^x = h$. We present an algorithm for…
The discrete logarithm in a finite group of large order has been widely applied in public key cryptosystem. In this paper, we will present a probabilistic algorithm for discrete logarithm.
We study systematically groups whose marked finite quotients form a recursive set. We give several definitions, and prove basic properties of this class of groups, and in particular emphasize the link between the growth of the depth…
This paper introduces a new public key cryptosystem based on two hard problems : the cube root extraction modulo a composite moduli (which is equivalent to the factorisation of the moduli) and the discrete logarithm problem. These two hard…
We prove that the word problem of a finitely generated group $G$ is in NP (solvable in polynomial time by a non-deterministic Turing machine) if and only if this group is a subgroup of a finitely presented group $H$ with polynomial…
This paper studies effective separability for subgroups of finitely generated nilpotent groups and more broadly effective subgroup separability of finitely generated nilpotent groups. We provide upper and lower bounds that are polynomial…
Interval-valued computing is a relatively new computing paradigm. It uses finitely many interval segments over the unit interval in a computation as data structure. The satisfiability of Quantified Boolean formulae and other hard problems,…
This paper presents a means with time complexity of at worst O(n^3) to compute the discrete logarithm on cyclic finite groups of integers modulo p. The algorithm makes use of reduction of the problem to that of finding the concurrent zeros…
We consider an application to the discrete log problem using completely regular semigroups which may provide a more secure symmetric cryptosystem than the classic system based on groups. In particular we describe a scheme that would appear…
We construct a finitely presented group with undecidable word problem and with Dehn function bounded by a quadratic function on an infinite set of positive integers.
In this short note, we develop a novel idea of a bilinear cryptosystem using the discrete logarithm problem in matrices. These matrices come from a linear representation of a finite $p$-group of class 2. We discuss an example at the end.
We construct a finitely presented (two-sided) totally orderable group with insoluble word problem.
