Using Equivalence Classes to Accelerate Solving the Discrete Logarithm Problem in a Short Interval

Explore a cryptographic talk from PKC 2010 on accelerating solutions to the discrete logarithm problem in short intervals using equivalence classes. Delve into the research by Steven D. Galbraith and Raminder S. Ruprai, covering topics such as running time, fast inversion, distinguishing points, random walks, and algorithm analysis. Learn about the challenges associated with equivalence classes and cycles, and discover strategies for optimizing performance in cryptographic computations.
