Implementing and Comparing Integer Factorization Algorithms

چکیده
Integer factorization is an important problem in modern cryptography as it is the basis of RSA encryption. I have implemented two integer factorization algorithms: Pollard’s rho algorithm and Dixon’s factorization method. While the results are not revolutionary, they illustrate the software design difficulties inherent to integer factorization. The code for this project is available at https://github.com/jspeiser/factoring.

On the WZ Factorization of the Real and Integer Matrices
The textit{QIF} (Quadrant Interlocking Factorization) method of Evans and Hatzopoulos solves linear equation systems using textit{WZ} factorization. The WZ factorization can be faster than the textit{LU} factorization because, it performs the simultaneous evaluation of two columns or two rows. Here, we present a method for computing the real and integer textit{WZ} and textit{ZW} factoriz...
متن کاملSome integer factorization algorithms using elliptic curves
Lenstra’s integer factorization algorithm is asymptotically one of the fastest known algorithms, and is ideally suited for parallel computation. We suggest a way in which the algorithm can be speeded up by the addition of a second phase. Under some plausible assumptions, the speedup is of order ln(p), where p is the factor which is found. In practice the speedup is significant. We mention some ...
متن کاملWZ factorization via Abay-Broyden-Spedicato algorithms
Classes of Abaffy-Broyden-Spedicato (ABS) methods have been introduced for solving linear systems of equations. The algorithms are powerful methods for developing matrix factorizations and many fundamental numerical linear algebra processes. Here, we show how to apply the ABS algorithms to devise algorithms to compute the WZ and ZW factorizations of a nonsingular matrix as well as...

This note presents a deterministic integer factorization algorithm of running time complexity O(N), ε > 0. This improves the current performances of deterministic integer factorization algorithms rated at O(N) arithmetic operations. Equivalently, given the least (log N)/6 bits of a factor of N = pq, where p and q are primes, the algorithm factors the integer in polynomial time O(log(N)), c ≥ 0 ...
متن کاملSymbolic Arithmetic and Integer Factorization
In this paper, we create a systematic and automatic procedure for transforming the integer factorization problem into the problem of solving a system of Boolean equations. Surprisingly, the resulting system of Boolean equations takes on a ”life of its own” and becomes a new type of integer, which we call a generic integer. We then proceed to use the newly found algebraic structure of the ring o...
