Nowadays, one area of research in cryptanalysis is solving the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP) in finite groups whose group representation is not yet exploited. For such groups, the best one can do is using a generic method to attack the DLP, the fastest ...
If L/K is a finite Galois extension of local fields, then we say that the valuation criterion VC(L/K) holds if there is an integer d such that every element x is an element of L with valuation d generates a normal basis for L/K. Answering a question of Byo ...
Elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECCs) are utilised as an alternative to traditional public-key cryptosystems, and are more suitable for resource-limited environments because of smaller parameter size. In this study, the authors carry out a thorough investiga ...
Let K be a finite extension of Q(p), let L/K be a finite abelian Galois extension of odd degree and let D-L be the valuation ring of L. We define A(L/K) to be the unique fractional D-L-ideal with square equal to the inverse different of L/K. For p an odd p ...
Let k be a field of characteristic /=2 and let W(k) be the Witt ring of k and L a finite extension of k. If L/k is a Galois extension, then the image of rL/k is contained in W(L)Gal(L/k) where rL/k:W(k)→W(L) is the canonical ring homomorphism. Rosenberg an ...
We report the correlation between the crystalline structure, electronic structure and magnetic properties of Co2FeAl films as a function of growing temperature both experimentally and theoretically. The Co2FeAl film grown at room temperature is initially i ...
Zerfo field splitting plays an important role in determining the electron spin relaxation of Gd(III) in solution. We understand the ZFS as an effect depending on the f electron structure and treat it in the framework of ligand field-density functional theo ...
We prove new equidistribution results for Galois orbits of Heegner points with respect to single reduction maps at inert primes. The arguments are based on two different techniques: primitive representations of integers by quadratic forms and distribution ...
Let k be an algebraically closed field. Let P(X-11,...,X-nn, T) be the characteristic polynomial of the generic matrix (X-ij) over k. We determine its singular locus as well as the singular locus of its Galois splitting. If X is a smooth quasi-projective s ...
We describe a cell processor implementation of Pollard’s rho method to solve discrete logarithms in groups of elliptic curves over prime fields. The implementation was used on a cluster of PlayStation 3 game consoles to set a new record. We present in deta ...
