Compute Discrete Logarithms with Chinese Remainder and pollard rho
Posted: Δεκεμβρίου 28th, 2011 | Author: Giorgos | Filed under: programming, python | 1 Comment »I have implemented in python another algorithm for solving the discrete logarithm problem ( DLP ) using the Chinese Remainder Theorem and Pollard’s rho algorithm.
This algororithm factors the order n of the Group and computes the discrete log for each factor and combine the solutions using the Chinese Remainder Theorem.

[...] If we want to compute the discrete logarithm of an element B in a group Gp with order p-1 (not prime) it is better to use the Chinese Remainder Theorem and POllard Rho method. [...]
