Modular exponentiation is efficient to compute, even for very large integers. On the other hand, computing the modular discrete logarithm – that is, finding the exponent e when given b, c, and m – is believed to be difficult. This one-way function behavior makes modular exponentiation a candidate for use in cryptographic algorithms.
The modular inverse of aR mod N is REDC((aR mod N) −1 (R 3 mod N)). Modular exponentiation can be done using exponentiation by squaring by initializing the initial product to the Montgomery representation of 1, that is, to R mod N, and by replacing the multiply and square steps by Montgomery multiplies.
Stephen C. Pohlig (1952/1953 in Washington, D.C. – April 14, 2017) was an American electrical engineer who worked in the MIT Lincoln Laboratory.As a graduate student of Martin Hellman's at Stanford University in the mid-1970s, he helped develop the underlying concepts of Diffie-Hellman key exchange, [1] including the Pohlig–Hellman exponentiation cipher and the Pohlig–Hellman algorithm ...
This can be accomplished via modular exponentiation, which is the slowest part of the algorithm. The gate thus defined satisfies U r = I {\displaystyle U^{r}=I} , which immediately implies that its eigenvalues are the r {\displaystyle r} -th roots of unity ω r k = e 2 π i k / r {\displaystyle \omega _{r}^{k}=e^{2\pi ik/r}} .
Exponentiation with Montgomery reduction O ( M ( n ) k ) {\displaystyle O(M(n)\,k)} On stronger computational models, specifically a pointer machine and consequently also a unit-cost random-access machine it is possible to multiply two n -bit numbers in time O ( n ).
compute g = gcd(a M − 1, n) (note: exponentiation can be done modulo n) if 1 < g < n then return g; if g = 1 then select a larger B and go to step 2 or return failure; if g = n then select a smaller B and go to step 2 or return failure; If g = 1 in step 6, this indicates there are no prime factors p for which p-1 is B-powersmooth.
Kay Bhothinard and Peter Field knew their home was in need of some TLC. But they didn't know it would end up on PBS's "This Old House."
