  • Exploring the Discrete Logarithm with Random Ternary Graphs

    Creator:
    Brugger, Max Francis Josef
    Abstract:
    Encryption is essential to the security of transactions and communications, but the algorithms on which they rely might not be as secure as we all assume. In this paper, we investigate the randomness of the discrete exponentiation function used frequently in encryption. We show how we used exponential generating functions...
