In this article, the main problems underlying the current asymmetric crypto algorithms for the formation and verification of electronic-digital signature are considered: problems of factorization of large integers and problems of discrete logarithm. It is noted that for the second problem, it is possible to use algebraic groups of points other than finite fields. The group of points of the elliptical curve, which satisfies all set requirements, looked attractive on this side. Aspects of the application of elliptic curves in cryptography and the possibilities offered by these algebraic groups in terms of computational efficiency and crypto-stability of algorithms were also considered. Information systems using elliptic curves, the keys have a shorter length than the algorithms above the finite fields. Theoretical directions of improvement of procedure of formation and verification of electronic-digital signature with the possibility of ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of information were considered. The proposed method is based on the Schnorr signature algorithm, which allows data to be recovered directly from the signature itself, similarly to RSA-like signature systems, and the amount of recoverable information is variable depending on the information message. As a result, the length of the signature itself, which is equal to the sum of the length of the end field over which the elliptic curve is determined, and the artificial excess redundancy provided to the hidden message was achieved.

Abstract We improve on the first fall degree bound of polynomial systems that arise from a Weil descent along Semaev’s summation polynomials relevant to the solution of the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem via Gröbner basis algorithms.

AbstractWe give a 4-list algorithm for solving the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm (ECDLP) over some quadratic field 𝔽p2. Using the representation technique, we reduce ECDLP to a multivariate polynomial zero testing problem. Our solution of this problem using bivariate polynomial multi-evaluation yields a p1.314-algorithm for ECDLP. While this is inferior to Pollard’s Rho algorithm with square root (in the field size) complexity 𝓞(p), it still has the potential to open a path to an o(p)-algorithm for ECDLP, since all involved lists are of size as small as $\begin{array}{} p^{\frac 3 4}, \end{array}$ only their computation is yet too costly.

The integer factorization problem used in the RSA cryptosystem, the discrete logarithm problem used in Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange protocol and the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm problem used in Elliptic Curve Cryptography are traditionally considered the difficult problems and used extensively in the design of cryptographic algorithms. We provide a number of other computationally difficult problems in the areas of Cryptography and Cryptanalysis. A class of problems called the Search problems, Group membership problems, and the Discrete Optimization problems are examples of such problems. A number of computationally difficult problems in Cryptanalysis have also been identified including the Cryptanalysis of Block ciphers, Pseudo-Random Number Generators and Hash functions.
