[Resource Topic] 2014/921: Batch NFS

Welcome to the resource topic for 2014/921

Title:
Batch NFS

Authors: Daniel J. Bernstein, Tanja Lange

Abstract:

This paper shows, assuming standard heuristics regarding the number-field sieve, that a “batch NFS” circuit of area L^{1.181…+o(1)} factors L^{0.5+o(1)} separate B-bit RSA keys in time L^{1.022…+o(1)}. Here L=exp((log 2^B)^{1/3}(log log 2^B)^{2/3}). The circuit’s area-time product (price-performance ratio) is just L^{1.704…+o(1)} per key. For comparison, the best area-time product known for a single key is L^{1.976…+o(1)}. This paper also introduces new “early-abort” heuristics implying that “early-abort ECM” improves the performance of batch NFS by a superpolynomial factor, specifically exp((c+o(1))(log 2^B)^{1/6}(log log 2^B)^{5/6}) where c is a positive constant.
