Welcome to the resource topic for 1999/019

Title:
Security of all RSA and Discrete Log Bits

Authors: Johan Hastad, Mats Naslund

Abstract:

We study the security of individual bits in an RSA
encrypted message E_N(x). We show that given E_N(x), predicting any
single bit in x with only a non-negligible advantage over the trivial
guessing strategy, is (through a polynomial time reduction) as hard as
breaking RSA. Moreover, we prove that blocks of O(log log N) bits of x
are computationally indistinguishable from random bits. The results
carry over to the Rabin encryption scheme.

Considering the discrete exponentiation function, g^x modulo p, with
probability 1-o(1) over random choices of the prime p, the analog
results are demonstrated. Finally, we prove that the bits of ax+b
modulo p give hard core predicates for any one-way function f.
