We define the weight of an integer N to be the smallest w such that N can be represented as w i=1 i2ci , with 1,..., w{1,-1}. Since arithmetic modulo a prime of low weight is parti...
The hardness of the integer factorization problem assures the security of some public-key cryptosystems including RSA, and the number field sieve method (NFS), the most efficient ...
Recently, efficient custom-hardware designs were proposed for the linear algebra step of the Number Field Sieve integer factoring algorithm. These designs make use of a heuristic ...
We give a “regularity lemma” for degree-d polynomial threshold functions (PTFs) over the Boolean cube {−1, 1}n . Roughly speaking, this result shows that every degree-d PTF ...
