On the Analysis of Public-Key Cryptologic Algorithms

Andrea Miele

The RSA cryptosystem introduced in 1977 by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Len Adleman is the most commonly deployed public-key cryptosystem. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) introduced in the mid 80's by Neal Koblitz and Victor Miller is becoming an increasin ...

Cofactorization on Graphics Processing Units

Arjen Lenstra, Joppe Willem Bos, Thorsten Kleinjung, Andrea Miele

We show how the cofactorization step, a compute-intensive part of the relation collection phase of the number field sieve (NFS), can be farmed out to a graphics processing unit. Our implementation on a GTX 580 GPU, which is integrated with a state-of-the-a ...

A sieve algorithm based on overlattices

In this paper, we present a heuristic algorithm for solving exact, as well as approximate, shortest vector and closest vector problems on lattices. The algorithm can be seen as a modified sieving algorithm for which the vectors of the intermediate sets lie ...

A heterogeneous computing environment to solve the 768-bit RSA challenge

Pénélope Leyland, Arjen Lenstra, Joppe Willem Bos, Thorsten Kleinjung, Dag Arne Osvik, Michela Thiémard

In December 2009 the 768-bit, 232-digit number RSA-768 was factored using the number field sieve. Overall, the computational challenge would take more than 1700 years on a single, standard core. In the article we present the heterogeneous computing approac ...

Factorization of a 768-Bit RSA Modulus

Arjen Lenstra, Joppe Willem Bos, Thorsten Kleinjung, Dag Arne Osvik, Patric Zimmermann

This paper reports on the factorization of the 768-bit number RSA-768 by the number field sieve factoring method and discusses some implications for RSA. ...

A kilobit special number field sieve factorization

Arjen Lenstra, Thorsten Kleinjung, Dag Arne Osvik

We describe how we reached a new factoring milestone by completing the first special number field sieve factorization of a number having more than 1024 bits, namely the Mersenne number 21039 -1. Although this factorization is orders of magnitude ...

VSH, an efficient and provable collision-resistant hash function

Arjen Lenstra

We introduce VSH, very smooth hash, a new S-bit hash function that is provably collision-resistant assuming the hardness of finding nontrivial modular square roots of very smooth numbers modulo an S-bit composite. By very smooth, we mean that the smoothnes ...
