Integer Factorization: Methods and Algorithms

This lecture covers various methods and algorithms for integer factorization, including the RSA modulus, basic linear algebra mod 2, and the Conader random velocity algorithm. It explains how to test if a number is B smooth, the concept of perfect squares, and the computation of small primes. The lecture also delves into the complexity of exponential algorithms, the importance of polynomial L-notation, and the significance of factoring numbers. Additionally, it discusses the process of computing products of small primes and the identification of prime factors in factorization.
