Random Cnf's are Hard for the Polynomial Calculus
We show a general reduction that derives lower bounds on degrees of polynomial calculus proofs of tautologies over any field of characteristic other than 2 from lower bounds for r...

Hardness Amplification in Proof Complexity
We present a generic method for converting any family of unsatisfiable CNF formulas that require large resolution rank into CNF formulas whose refutation requires large rank for p...

On Partial Lifting and the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem
It has been suggested that a major obstacle in finding an index calculus attack on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem lies in the difficulty of lifting points from elli...
