Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the expected number of steps in solving multi–discrete logarithm problems over a group of elliptic curves with prime order by using Pollard's rho method and parallel collision search algorithm. We prove that when using these algorithms to compute discrete logarithms, the knowledge gained through computing many logarithms does not make it easier for finding other logarithms. Hence in an elliptic cryptosystem, it is safe for many users to share the same curve, with different private keys.
