Abstract:
In this paper we propose an algorithm for evaluation of logarithms in the finite fields , where the number has a small primitive factor . The heuristic estimate of the complexity of the algorithm is equal to , where grows to , and is limited by a polynomial in . The evaluation of logarithms is founded on a new congruence of the kind of D. Coppersmith, , which has a great deal of solutions-pairs of polynomials of small degrees.
