Product Subset Problem : Applications to number theory and cryptography

10 Feb 2020  ·  K. A. Draziotis, V. Martidis, S. Tiganourias ·

We consider applications of Subset Product Problem (SPP) in number theory and cryptography. We obtain a probabilistic algorithm that attack SPP and we analyze it with respect time/space complexity and success probability. In fact we provide an application to the problem of finding Carmichael numbers and an attack to Naccache-Stern knapsack cryptosystem, where we update previous results.
