The Number Field Sieve and its numerous variants is the best algorithm to compute discrete logarithms in medium and large characteristic finite fields. When the extension degree n is composite and the characteristic p is of medium size, the…
The Number Field Sieve (NFS) algorithm is the best known method to compute discrete logarithms (DL) in finite fields $\mathbb{F}\_{p^n}$, with $p$ medium to large and $n \geq 1$ small. This algorithm comprises four steps: polynomial…
Recently, several striking advances have taken place regarding the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in finite fields of small characteristic, despite progress having remained essentially static for nearly thirty years, with the best known…
We improve the "sieve" part of the number field sieve used in factoring integer and computing discrete logarithm. The runtime of our method is shorter than that of existing methods. Under some reasonable assumptions, we prove that it is…
Recent breakthrough methods \cite{gggz,joux,bgjt} on computing discrete logarithms in small characteristic finite fields share an interesting feature in common with the earlier medium prime function field sieve method \cite{jl}. To solve…
We propose various strategies for improving the computation of discrete logarithms in non-prime fields of medium to large characteristic using the Number Field Sieve. This includes new methods for selecting the polynomials; the use of…
The Function Field Sieve algorithm is dedicated to computing discrete logarithms in a finite field GF(q^n), where q is small an prime power. The scope of this article is to select good polynomials for this algorithm by defining and…
We describe a provably quasi-polynomial algorithm to compute discrete logarithms in the multiplicative groups of finite fields of small characteristic, that is finite fields whose characteristic is logarithmic in the order. We partially…
In the present work, we present a new discrete logarithm algorithm, in the same vein as in recent works by Joux, using an asymptotically more efficient descent approach. The main result gives a quasi-polynomial heuristic complexity for the…
In \cite{joux}, Joux devised an algorithm to compute discrete logarithms between elements in a certain subset of the multiplicative group of an extension of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ in time polynomial in $p$ and $n$. Shortly…
Solving the discrete logarithm problem in a finite prime field is an extremely important computing problem in modern cryptography. The hardness of solving the discrete logarithm problem in a finite prime field is the security foundation of…
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…
Cheng and Wan have related the decoding of Reed-Solomon codes to the computation of discrete logarithms over finite fields, with the aim of proving the hardness of their decoding. In this work, we experiment with solving the discrete…
The general number field sieve (GNFS) is the most efficient algorithm known for factoring large integers. It consists of several stages, the first one being polynomial selection. The quality of the chosen polynomials in polynomial selection…
In this paper, a new algorithm to solve the discrete logarithm problem is presented which is similar to the usual baby-step giant-step algorithm. Our algorithm exploits the order of the discrete logarithm in the multiplicative group of a…
This paper reports on the computation of a discrete logarithm in the finite field $\mathbb F_{2^{30750}}$, breaking by a large margin the previous record, which was set in January 2014 by a computation in $\mathbb F_{2^{9234}}$. The present…
Difficulty of calculation of discrete logarithm for any arbitrary Field is the basis for security of several popular cryptographic solutions. Pohlig-Hellman method is a popular choice to calculate discrete logarithm in finite field $F_p^*$.…
This text answers a question raised by Joux and the second author about the computation of discrete logarithms in the multiplicative group of finite fields. Given a finite residue field $\bK$, one looks for a smoothness basis for $\bK^*$…
Elliptic bases, introduced by Couveignes and Lercier in 2009, give an elegant way of representing finite field extensions. A natural question which seems to have been considered independently by several groups is to use this representation…
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…
