New algorithm shakes up cryptography Date: May 15, 2014 Source: CNRS Summary: Researchers have solved one aspect of the discrete logarithm problem. This is considered to be one of the 'holy grails ...

This obviously would render all prime-factor based cryptography algorithms obsolete. I have warned the FBI about this for a while, however; what everyone wanted from me was an algorithm that does ...

In this article, we examine how the index calculus approach for computing discrete logarithms in small genus hyperelliptic curves can be improved by introducing a double large prime variation. Two ...

Quasi-birth-death processes are commonly used Markov chain models in queueing theory, computer performance, teletraffic modeling and other areas. We provide a new, simple algorithm for the ...

But ECC, like RSA, is vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm — a quantum computing method capable of cracking the discrete logarithm problem, the core math behind Bitcoin's private keys.
