ABSTRACT. We prove the rationality of the generating function associated to the number of equivalence classes of Fqk -points of a constructible equivalence relation defined over t...
Motivated by the needs of the pairing based cryptography, Miyaji, Nakabayashi and Takano have suggested a construction of so-called MNT elliptic curves with low embedding degree. ...
Abstract. Essentially all subexponential time algorithms for the discrete logarithm problem over nite elds are based on the index calculus idea. In proposing cryptosystems based on...
In 1986, following the work of Schoof on counting points on elliptic curves over finite fields, new algorithms for primality proving emerged, due to Goldwasser and Kilian on the on...
In this article we offer guidelines for the determination of key sizes for symmetric cryptosystems, RSA, and discrete logarithm based cryptosystems both over finite fields and over...
