Abstract

Elliptic Curve; Elliptic Curf; Discrete Logarithm; Discrete Logarithm Problem; Identity Base Encryption
In this paper we investigate the efficiency of the function field sieve to compute discrete logarithms in the finite fields F3n . Motivated by attacks on identity based encryption systems using supersingular elliptic curves, we pay special attention to the case where n is composite. This allows us to represent the function field over different base fields. Practical experiments appear to show that a function field over F3 gives the best results.
