Welcome to the resource topic for 2019/610

Title:
Improved Cryptanalysis of the AJPS Mersenne Based Cryptosystem

Authors: Jean-Sebastien Coron, Agnese Gini

Abstract:

At Crypto 2018, Aggarwal, Joux, Prakash and Santha (AJPS) described a new public-key encryption scheme based on Mersenne numbers. Shortly after the publication of the cryptosystem, Beunardeau et al. described an attack with complexity O(2^(2h)). In this paper, we describe an improved attack with complexity O(2^(1.75h)).
