The elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) lies at the heart of modern public-key cryptography. It concerns the challenge of determining an unknown scalar multiplier given two points on an ...

Researchers have solved one aspect of the discrete logarithm problem. This is considered to be one of the 'holy grails' of algorithmic number theory, on which the security of many cryptographic ...

The ECCp-109 project tries to solve Certicom's ECCp-109 challenge--to solve a particular elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem. The Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP) is the basis ...

Consider an urn model where at each step one of q colors is sampled according to some probability distribution and a ball of that color is placed in an urn. The distribution of assigning balls to urns ...
