Accelerating Stage 2 in ECM Using Elliptic Divisibility Sequences
摘要
The Elliptic Curve Method (ECM) is an efficient integer factorization algorithm for identifying medium-sized prime factors of large integers. Elliptic Divisibility Sequences (EDSs) are a class of non-linear divisibility sequences associated with elliptic curves, which can be efficiently computed when evaluated successively. This paper introduces a new implementation of stage 2 in ECM using EDSs. The main idea is to use the recursive formulas of EDSs to replace the group operations on elliptic curve points. We demonstrate that for parameter
