Logarithms, however, are used throughout science and mathematics to find solutions to a variety of difficult problems. Much of the time the numbers used in logarithms are much larger than the ones ...

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 ...

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 ...

Logarithms celebrate their 400th birthday Four centuries ago, John Napier provided human calculators a faster way to multiply ...
