  2. Tonelli–Shanks algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonelli–Shanks_algorithm

    The Tonelli–Shanks algorithm (referred to by Shanks as the RESSOL algorithm) is used in modular arithmetic to solve for r in a congruence of the form r 2 ≡ n (mod p), where p is a prime: that is, to find a square root of n modulo p.

  3. Index calculus algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_calculus_algorithm

    This factor base is usually chosen to be the number −1 and the first r primes starting with 2. From the point of view of efficiency, we want this factor base to be small, but in order to solve the discrete log for a large group we require the factor base to be (relatively) large. In practical implementations of the algorithm, those ...

  4. Discrete logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_logarithm

    The discrete logarithm is just the inverse operation. For example, consider the equation 3 k ≡ 13 (mod 17). From the example above, one solution is k = 4, but it is not the only solution. Since 3 16 ≡ 1 (mod 17)—as follows from Fermat's little theorem—it also follows that if n is an integer then 3 4+16n ≡ 3 4 × (3 16) n ≡ 13 × 1 n ...

  5. Modular arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic

    Fermat's little theorem: If p is prime and does not divide a, then a p−11 (mod p). Euler's theorem: If a and m are coprime, then a φ(m) ≡ 1 (mod m), where φ is Euler's totient function. A simple consequence of Fermat's little theorem is that if p is prime, then a −1 ≡ a p−2 (mod p) is the multiplicative inverse of 0 < a < p.

  6. Modular multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_multiplicative_inverse

    X ≡ 6 (mod 11) has common solutions since 5,7 and 11 are pairwise coprime. A solution is given by X = t 1 (7 × 11) × 4 + t 2 (5 × 11) × 4 + t 3 (5 × 7) × 6. where t 1 = 3 is the modular multiplicative inverse of 7 × 11 (mod 5), t 2 = 6 is the modular multiplicative inverse of 5 × 11 (mod 7) and t 3 = 6 is the modular multiplicative ...

  9. Modulo (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_(mathematics)

    Modulo is a mathematical jargon that was introduced into mathematics in the book Disquisitiones Arithmeticae by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1801. [3] Given the integers a, b and n, the expression "a ≡ b (mod n)", pronounced "a is congruent to b modulo n", means that a − b is an integer multiple of n, or equivalently, a and b both share the same remainder when divided by n.
