Discrete Log Problem: Pollard's Rho Method

Description

This lecture covers the discrete log problem and introduces Pollard's rho method, which aims to find collisions in a cyclic group of order N generated by g. The method involves partitioning the group, fixing initial values, and iteratively computing solutions. By adapting Pollard's idea, the lecture explores how to factor integers and find collisions efficiently, with a focus on constant memory usage and recursive computation.
