A Generalized Wiener-Type Attack Against an RSA-Like Cryptosystem
摘要
Let \(N = pq\) be the product of two balanced prime numbers p and q. In 2023, Cotan and Teşeleanu introduced a family of RSA-like cryptosystems based on the key equation \(ed - k(p^n - 1)(q^n - 1) = 1\) , where \(n \ge 1\) . Note that when \(n = 1\) , we obtain the classical RSA system, while \(n = 2\) yields the variant proposed by Elkamchouchi, Elshenawy, and Shaban. In this paper, we present a novel attack that combines continued fractions with lattice-based methods for the case \(n = 6\) . This represents a natural continuation of previous research, which successfully applied similar techniques for \(n = 1, 2, 4\) .
