Abstract

The difficulty in solving the discrete logarithm problem is of extreme cryptographic importance since it is widely used in signature schemes, message encryption, key exchange, authentication and so on ([15], [17], [21], [29] etc.). The General Number Field Sieve (GNFS) is the asymptotically fastest known method to compute discrete logs mod p [18]. With the first implementation of the GNFS for discrete logs by using Schirokauer's improvement [27] we were able to show its practicability [31].
