Numerical and Statistical Analysis of Aliquot Sequences

Kevin Chum, Richard K. Guy, Michael J. Jacobson +1

We present a variety of numerical data related to the growth of terms in aliquot sequences, iterations of the function . First, we compute the geometric mean of th…

Removable Weak Keys for Discrete Logarithm Based Cryptography

Michael John Jacobson, Prabhat Kushwaha

We describe a novel type of weak cryptographic private key that can exist in any discrete logarithm based public-key cryptosystem set in a group of prime order where has…

A note on the security of CSIDH

Jean-François Biasse, Annamaria Iezzi, Michael J. Jacobson

We propose an algorithm for computing an isogeny between two elliptic curves defined over a finite field such that there is an imaginary quadratic order sat…

Unconditional Class Group Tabulation of Imaginary Quadratic Fields to

A. S. Mosunov, M. J. Jacobson

We present an improved algorithm for tabulating class groups of imaginary quadratic fields of bounded discriminant. Our method uses classical class number formulas involving theta-…

Practical improvements to class group and regulator computation of real quadratic fields

Jean-François Biasse, Jacobson John Michael

We present improvements to the index-calculus algorithm for the computation of the ideal class group and regulator of a real quadratic field. Our improvements consist of applying t…

Security Estimates for Quadratic Field Based Cryptosystems

Jean-François Biasse, Jacobson John Michael, Silverster K. Alan

We describe implementations for solving the discrete logarithm problem in the class group of an imaginary quadratic field and in the infrastructure of a real quadratic field. The a…
