  • Primality Testing and Integer Factorisation
    Primality Testing and Integer Factorisation Richard P. Brent, FAA Computer Sciences Laboratory Australian National University Canberra, ACT 2601 Abstract The problem of finding the prime factors of large composite numbers has always been of mathematical interest. With the advent of public key cryptosystems it is also of practical importance, because the security of some of these cryptosystems, such as the Rivest-Shamir-Adelman (RSA) system, depends on the difficulty of factoring the public keys. In recent years the best known integer factorisation algorithms have improved greatly, to the point where it is now easy to factor a 60-decimal digit number, and possible to factor numbers larger than 120 decimal digits, given the availability of enough computing power. We describe several recent algorithms for primality testing and factorisation, give examples of their use and outline some applications. 1. Introduction It has been known since Euclid’s time (though first clearly stated and proved by Gauss in 1801) that any natural number N has a unique prime power decomposition α1 α2 αk N = p1 p2 ··· pk (1.1) αj (p1 < p2 < ··· < pk rational primes, αj > 0). The prime powers pj are called αj components of N, and we write pj kN. To compute the prime power decomposition we need – 1. An algorithm to test if an integer N is prime. 2. An algorithm to find a nontrivial factor f of a composite integer N. Given these there is a simple recursive algorithm to compute (1.1): if N is prime then stop, otherwise 1. find a nontrivial factor f of N; 2.

  • Computing Prime Divisors in an Interval
    MATHEMATICS OF COMPUTATION Volume 84, Number 291, January 2015, Pages 339–354 S 0025-5718(2014)02840-8 Article electronically published on May 28, 2014 COMPUTING PRIME DIVISORS IN AN INTERVAL MINKYU KIM AND JUNG HEE CHEON Abstract. We address the problem of finding a nontrivial divisor of a com- posite integer when it has a prime divisor in an interval. We show that this problem can be solved in time of the square root of the interval length with a similar amount of storage, by presenting two algorithms; one is probabilistic and the other is its derandomized version. 1. Introduction Integer factorization is one of the most challenging problems in computational number theory. It has been studied for centuries, and it has been intensively in- vestigated after introducing the RSA cryptosystem [18]. The difficulty of integer factorization has been examined not only in pure factoring situations but also in various modified situations. One such approach is to find a nontrivial divisor of a composite integer when it has prime divisors of special form. These include Pol- lard’s p − 1 algorithm [15], Williams’ p + 1 algorithm [20], and others. On the other hand, owing to the importance and the usage of integer factorization in cryptog- raphy, one needs to examine this problem when some partial information about divisors is revealed. This side information might be exposed through the proce- dures of generating prime numbers or through some attacks against crypto devices or protocols. This paper deals with integer factorization given the approximation of divisors, and it is motivated by the above mentioned research.

  • Integer Factorization and Computing Discrete Logarithms in Maple
    Integer Factorization and Computing Discrete Logarithms in Maple Aaron Bradford∗, Michael Monagan∗, Colin Percival∗ [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Department of Mathematics, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C., V5A 1S6, Canada. 1 Introduction As part of our MITACS research project at Simon Fraser University, we have investigated algorithms for integer factorization and computing discrete logarithms. We have implemented a quadratic sieve algorithm for integer factorization in Maple to replace Maple's implementation of the Morrison- Brillhart continued fraction algorithm which was done by Gaston Gonnet in the early 1980's. We have also implemented an indexed calculus algorithm for discrete logarithms in GF(q) to replace Maple's implementation of Shanks' baby-step giant-step algorithm, also done by Gaston Gonnet in the early 1980's. In this paper we describe the algorithms and our optimizations made to them. We give some details of our Maple implementations and present some initial timings. Since Maple is an interpreted language, see [7], there is room for improvement of both implementations by coding critical parts of the algorithms in C. For example, one of the bottle-necks of the indexed calculus algorithm is finding and integers which are B-smooth. Let B be a set of primes. A positive integer y is said to be B-smooth if its prime divisors are all in B. Typically B might be the first 200 primes and y might be a 50 bit integer. ∗This work was supported by the MITACS NCE of Canada. 1 2 Integer Factorization Starting from some very simple instructions | \make integer factorization faster in Maple" | we have implemented the Quadratic Sieve factoring al- gorithm in a combination of Maple and C (which is accessed via Maple's capabilities for external linking).

  • Cracking RSA with Various Factoring Algorithms Brian Holt
    Cracking RSA with Various Factoring Algorithms Brian Holt 1 Abstract For centuries, factoring products of large prime numbers has been recognized as a computationally difficult task by mathematicians. The modern encryption scheme RSA (short for Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman) uses products of large primes for secure communication protocols. In this paper, we analyze and compare four factorization algorithms which use elementary number theory to assess the safety of various RSA moduli. 2 Introduction The origins of prime factorization can be traced back to around 300 B.C. when Euclid's theorem and the unique factorization theorem were proved in his work El- ements [3]. For nearly two millenia, the simple trial division algorithm was used to factor numbers into primes. More efficient means were studied by mathemeticians during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In the 1640s, Pierre de Fermat devised what is known as Fermat's factorization method. Over one century later, Leonhard Euler improved upon Fermat's factorization method for numbers that take specific forms. Around this time, Adrien-Marie Legendre and Carl Gauss also con- tributed crucial ideas used in modern factorization schemes [3]. Prime factorization's potential for secure communication was not recognized until the twentieth century. However, economist William Jevons antipicated the "one-way" or ”difficult-to-reverse" property of products of large primes in 1874. This crucial con- cept is the basis of modern public key cryptography. Decrypting information without access to the private key must be computationally complex to prevent malicious at- tacks. In his book The Principles of Science: A Treatise on Logic and Scientific Method, Jevons challenged the reader to factor a ten digit semiprime (now called Jevon's Number)[4].

  • Primality Testing and Sub-Exponential Factorization
    Primality Testing and Sub-Exponential Factorization David Emerson Advisor: Howard Straubing Boston College Computer Science Senior Thesis May, 2009 Abstract This paper discusses the problems of primality testing and large number factorization. The first section is dedicated to a discussion of primality test- ing algorithms and their importance in real world applications. Over the course of the discussion the structure of the primality algorithms are devel- oped rigorously and demonstrated with examples. This section culminates in the presentation and proof of the modern deterministic polynomial-time Agrawal-Kayal-Saxena algorithm for deciding whether a given n is prime. The second section is dedicated to the process of factorization of large com- posite numbers. While primality and factorization are mathematically tied in principle they are very di⇥erent computationally. This fact is explored and current high powered factorization methods and the mathematical structures on which they are built are examined. 1 Introduction Factorization and primality testing are important concepts in mathematics. From a purely academic motivation it is an intriguing question to ask how we are to determine whether a number is prime or not. The next logical question to ask is, if the number is composite, can we calculate its factors. The two questions are invariably related. If we can factor a number into its pieces then it is obviously not prime, if we can’t then we know that it is prime. The definition of primality is very much derived from factorability. As we progress through the known and developed primality tests and factorization algorithms it will begin to become clear that while primality and factorization are intertwined they occupy two very di⇥erent levels of computational di⇧culty.

LENSTRA [email protected] Citibank, N.A., 1 North Gate Road, Mendham, NJ 07945-3104, USA Abstract. Using simple examples and informal discussions this article surveys the key ideas and major advances of the last quarter century in integer factorization. Keywords: Integer factorization, quadratic sieve, number field sieve, elliptic curve method, Morrison–Brillhart Approach 1. Introduction Factoring a positive integer n means finding positive integers u and v such that the product of u and v equals n, and such that both u and v are greater than 1. Such u and v are called factors (or divisors)ofn, and n = u v is called a factorization of n. Positive integers that can be factored are called composites. Positive integers greater than 1 that cannot be factored are called primes. For example, n = 15 can be factored as the product of the primes u = 3 and v = 5, and n = 105 can be factored as the product of the prime u = 7 and the composite v = 15. A factorization of a composite number is not necessarily unique: n = 105 can also be factored as the product of the prime u = 5 and the composite v = 21. But the prime factorization of a number—writing it as a product of prime numbers—is unique, up to the order of the factors: n = 3 5 7isthe prime factorization of n = 105, and n = 5 is the prime factorization of n = 5.

  • Factoring & Primality
    Factoring & Primality Lecturer: Dimitris Papadopoulos In this lecture we will discuss the problem of integer factorization and primality testing, two problems that have been the focus of a great amount of research over the years. These prob- lems started receiving attention in the mathematics community far before the appearance of computer science, however the emergence of the latter has given them additional importance. Gauss himself wrote in 1801 \The problem of distinguishing prime numbers from composite numbers, and of resolving the latter into their prime factors, is known to be one of the most important and useful in arithmetic. The dignity of the science itself seems to require that every possible means be explored for the solution of a problem so elegant and so celebrated." 1 Factorization Problems The following result is known as the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic: Theorem 1 Every n 2 Z with n 6= 0 can be written as: r Y ei n = ± pi i=1 where pi are distinct prime numbers and ei are positive integers. Moreover, this representa- tion is unique (except for term re-ordering). This celebrated result (already known at Euclid's time) unfortunately does not tell us any- thing about computing the primes pi or the powers ei except for their existence. This naturally leads to the following problem statement known as the integer factorization problem: Problem 1 Given n 2 Z with n 6= 0, compute primes pi and positive integers ei for i = Qr ei 1; :::; r s.t. i=1 pi = n. Clearly, if n is a prime number then the factorization described above is trivial.

The book itself is divided into four chapters: 1 Number-Theoretic Preliminaries This chapter collects the basics of number theory necessary for understanding the following chapters and algorithms. Some of the covered topics are Euclid's algorithm, continued fractions, the Chinese remainder theorem (CRT), quadratic and power residues and some of the essential arithmetic functions. There is also a short introduction into the arithmetic of Elliptic Curves. 2 Primality Testing and Prime Generation For a security practitioner this might be the most interesting chapter as it covers the most crucial operations for public-key cryptography. The reader finds a detailed introduction into the most widely used as well as the most recent algorithms for primality testing and reliable prime number generation. One exciting section deals with primality tests for special numbers (Fermat numbers and Mersenne primes). 3 Integer Factorization and Discrete Logarithms Many public-key cryptography schemes rely on the intractability of the integer factorization prob- lem (IFP) or the discrete logarithm problem (DLP).

The problem is non-degeneracy and unique solution. We talk about what the parameter effects the problem solving difficulty. Then we pointed out that the index-calculus algorithm is not suitable for the problem, and two sufficient conditions of resisting to the quantum algorithm for the hidden subgroup problem are given. Keywords: quantum algorithm, discrete logarithm problem, t -multiple discrete logarithm problem, hidden subgroup problem, cryptography 1 Introduction Quantum computation is an entirely new mode. Deutsch algorithm is the first quantum algorithm [1], which shows the power of parallelism computation. And the research on the quantum computation has been attracted widespread attention. Shor’s quantum algorithm [2] and Grover’s quantum search algorithm [3] have been presented, especially Shor’s algorithm which can solve integer factorization and discrete logarithm problem in polynomial time. Then the public-key crypto is under serious threat. Shor’s algorithm can be reduced to the quantum algorithm for the hidden subgroup problem [4], which is a pervasive quantum algorithm with polynomial time. Thus the problem can be solved in polynomial time, which can be reduced to hidden subgroup problem.
