Title:
A reduction of Semigroup DLP to classic DLP

Authors: Matan Banin, Boaz Tsaban

Abstract:

We present a polynomial-time reduction of the discrete logarithm problem in any periodic (or torsion) semigroup (SGDLP) to the classic DLP in a subgroup of the same semigroup. It follows that SGDLP can be solved in polynomial time by quantum computers, and that SGDLP has subexponential complexity whenever the classic DLP in the corresponding groups has subexponential complexity. We also consider several natural constructions of nonperiodic semigroups, and provide polynomial time solutions for the DLP in these semigroups.
