The Density Attack for primes

1: Pick k ∈ {1, . . . , n} randomly;

2: if k| n and k ̸= 1 and k ̸= n then

3: return “n is composite”;

4: else

5: return “n is (probably) a prime”;

6: end if

(3)

The Density Attack for primes (continued)

• It works, but does it work well?

• The ratio of numbers ≤ n relatively prime to n (the white ring) is

ϕ(n) n .

• When n = pq, where p and q are distinct primes, ϕ(n)

n = pq − p − q + 1

pq > 1 1

q 1 p.

(4)

The Density Attack for primes (concluded)

• So the ratio of numbers ≤ n not relatively prime to n (the grey area) is < (1/q) + (1/p).

– The “density attack” has probability about 2/

n of factoring n = pq when p ∼ q = O(√

n ).

– The “density attack” to factor n = pq hence takes Ω(

n) steps on average when p ∼ q = O(√ n ).

– This running time is exponential: Ω(20.5 log2n).

(5)

The Chinese Remainder Theorem

• Let n = n1n2 · · · nk, where ni are pairwise relatively prime.

• For any integers a1, a2, . . . , ak, the set of simultaneous equations

x = a1 mod n1, x = a2 mod n2,

...

x = ak mod nk,

has a unique solution modulo n for the unknown x.

Fermat’s “Little” Theorem

a

Lemma 56 For all 0 < a < p, ap−1 = 1 mod p.

• Recall Φ(p) = {1, 2, . . . , p − 1}.

• Consider aΦ(p) = {am mod p : m ∈ Φ(p)}.

• aΦ(p) = Φ(p).

– aΦ(p) ⊆ Φ(p) as a remainder must be between 1 and p − 1.

– Suppose am ≡ am mod p for m > m, where m, m ∈ Φ(p).

– That means a(m − m) = 0 mod p, and p divides a or m − m, which is impossible.

aPierre de Fermat (1601–1665).

(7)

The Proof (concluded)

• Multiply all the numbers in Φ(p) to yield (p − 1)!.

• Multiply all the numbers in aΦ(p) to yield ap−1(p − 1)!.

• As aΦ(p) = Φ(p), we have

ap−1(p − 1)! ≡ (p − 1)! mod p.

• Finally, ap−1 = 1 mod p because p ̸ |(p − 1)!.

(8)

The Fermat-Euler Theorem

a

Corollary 57 For all a ∈ Φ(n), aϕ(n) = 1 mod n.

• The proof is similar to that of Lemma 56 (p. 473).

• Consider aΦ(n) = {am mod n : m ∈ Φ(n)}.

• aΦ(n) = Φ(n).

– aΦ(n) ⊆ Φ(n) as a remainder must be between 0 and n − 1 and relatively prime to n.

– Suppose am ≡ am mod n for m < m < n, where m, m ∈ Φ(n).

– That means a(m − m) = 0 mod n, and n divides a or m − m, which is impossible.

aProof by Mr. Wei-Cheng Cheng (R93922108, D95922011) on Novem- ber 24, 2004.

(9)

The Proof (concluded)

a

• Multiply all the numbers in Φ(n) to yield

m∈Φ(n) m.

• Multiply all the numbers in aΦ(n) to yield aϕ(n)

m∈Φ(n) m.

• As aΦ(n) = Φ(n),

m∈Φ(n)

m ≡ aϕ(n)

 ∏

m∈Φ(n)

 mod n.

• Finally, aϕ(n) = 1 mod n because n ̸ |

m∈Φ(n) m.

An Example

• As 12 = 22 × 3,

ϕ(12) = 12 × (

1 1 2

) (

1 1 3

)

= 4.

• In fact, Φ(12) = {1, 5, 7, 11}.

• For example,

54 = 625 = 1 mod 12.

(11)

Exponents

• The exponent of m ∈ Φ(p) is the least k ∈ Z+ such that mk = 1 mod p.

• Every residue s ∈ Φ(p) has an exponent.

– 1, s, s2, s3, . . . eventually repeats itself modulo p, say si ≡ sj mod p, which means sj−i = 1 mod p.

• If the exponent of m is k and m = 1 mod p, then k|ℓ.

– Otherwise, ℓ = qk + a for 0 < a < k, and

m ≡ mqk+a ≡ ma ≡ 1 mod p, a contradiction.

Lemma 58 Any nonzero polynomial of degree k has at most k distinct roots modulo p.

(12)

Exponents and Primitive Roots

• From Fermat’s “little” theorem, all exponents divide p − 1.

• A primitive root of p is thus a number with exponent p − 1.

• Let R(k) denote the total number of residues in Φ(p) = {1, 2, . . . , p − 1} that have exponent k.

• We already knew that R(k) = 0 for k ̸ |(p − 1).

• So

k|(p−1)

R(k) = p − 1 as every number has an exponent.

(13)

Size of R(k)

• Any a ∈ Φ(p) of exponent k satisfies xk = 1 mod p.

• Hence there are at most k residues of exponent k, i.e., R(k) ≤ k, by Lemma 58 (p. 478).

• Let s be a residue of exponent k.

• 1, s, s2, . . . , sk−1 are distinct modulo p.

– Otherwise, si ≡ sj mod p with i < j.

– Then sj−i = 1 mod p with j − i < k, a contradiction.

• As all these k distinct numbers satisfy xk = 1 mod p, they comprise all the solutions of xk = 1 mod p.

(14)

Size of R(k) (continued)

• But do all of them have exponent k (i.e., R(k) = k)?

• And if not (i.e., R(k) < k), how many of them do?

• Pick s, where ℓ < k.

• Suppose ℓ ̸∈ Φ(k) with gcd(ℓ, k) = d > 1.

• Then

(s)k/d = (sk)ℓ/d = 1 mod p.

• Therefore, s has exponent at most k/d < k.

• So s has exponent k only if ℓ ∈ Φ(k).

• We conclude that

R(k) ≤ ϕ(k).

(15)

Size of R(k) (concluded)

• Because all p − 1 residues have an exponent, p − 1 =

k|(p−1)

R(k)

k|(p−1)

ϕ(k) = p − 1

by Lemma 55 (p. 465).

• Hence

R(k) =



ϕ(k) when k|(p − 1) 0 otherwise

• In particular, R(p − 1) = ϕ(p − 1) > 0, and p has at least one primitive root.

• This proves one direction of Theorem 50 (p. 451).

(16)

A Few Calculations

• Let p = 13.

• From p. 475, we know ϕ(p − 1) = 4.

• Hence R(12) = 4.

• Indeed, there are 4 primitive roots of p.

• As

Φ(p − 1) = {1, 5, 7, 11}, the primitive roots are

g1, g5, g7, g11, where g is any primitive root.

(17)

The Other Direction of Theorem 50 (p. 451)

• We show p is a prime if there is a number r such that 1. rp−1 = 1 mod p, and

2. r(p−1)/q ̸= 1 mod p for all prime divisors q of p − 1.

• Suppose p is not a prime.

• We proceed to show that no primitive roots exist.

• Suppose rp−1 = 1 mod p (note gcd(r, p) = 1).

• We will show that the 2nd condition must be violated.

(18)

The Proof (continued)

• So we proceed to show r(p−1)/q = 1 mod p for some prime divisor q of p − 1.

• rϕ(p) = 1 mod p by the Fermat-Euler theorem (p. 475).

• Because p is not a prime, ϕ(p) < p − 1.

• Let k be the smallest integer such that rk = 1 mod p.

• With the 1st condition, it is easy to show that k | (p − 1) (similar to p. 478).

• Note that k | ϕ(p) (p. 478).

• As k ≤ ϕ(p), k < p − 1.

(19)

The Proof (concluded)

• Let q be a prime divisor of (p − 1)/k > 1.

• Then k|(p − 1)/q.

• By the definition of k,

r(p−1)/q = 1 mod p.

• But this violates the 2nd condition.

(20)

Function Problems

• Decision problems are yes/no problems (sat, tsp (d), etc.).

• Function problems require a solution (a satisfying truth assignment, a best tsp tour, etc.).

• Optimization problems are clearly function problems.

• What is the relation between function and decision problems?

• Which one is harder?

(21)

Function Problems Cannot Be Easier than Decision Problems

• If we know how to generate a solution, we can solve the corresponding decision problem.

– If you can find a satisfying truth assignment efficiently, then sat is in P.

– If you can find the best tsp tour efficiently, then tsp (d) is in P.

• But decision problems can be as hard as the corresponding function problems.

(22)

fsat

• fsat is this function problem:

– Let ϕ(x1, x2, . . . , xn) be a boolean expression.

– If ϕ is satisfiable, then return a satisfying truth assignment.

– Otherwise, return “no.”

• We next show that if sat ∈ P, then fsat has a polynomial-time algorithm.

• sat is a subroutine (black box) that returns “yes” or

“no” on the satisfiability of the input.

(23)

An Algorithm for fsat Using sat

1: t := ϵ; {Truth assignment.}

2: if ϕ ∈ sat then

3: for i = 1, 2, . . . , n do

4: if ϕ[ xi = true ] ∈ sat then 5: t := t ∪ { xi = true};

6: ϕ := ϕ[ xi = true ];

7: else

8: t := t ∪ { xi = false};

9: ϕ := ϕ[ xi = false ];

10: end if 11: end for 12: return t;

13: else

14: return “no”;

15: end if

(24)

Analysis

• If sat can be solved in polynomial time, so can fsat.

– There are ≤ n + 1 calls to the algorithm for sat.a – Boolean expressions shorter than ϕ are used in each

call to the algorithm for sat.

• Hence sat and fsat are equally hard (or easy).

• Note that this reduction from fsat to sat is not a Karp reduction (recall p. 265).

• Instead, it calls sat multiple times as a subroutine and moves on sat’s outputs.

tsp and tsp (d) Revisited

• We are given n cities 1, 2, . . . , n and integer distances dij = dji between any two cities i and j.

• tsp (d) asks if there is a tour with a total distance at most B.

• tsp asks for a tour with the shortest total distance.

– The shortest total distance is at most

i,j dij.

∗ Recall that the input string contains d11, . . . , dnn.

∗ Thus the shortest total distance is less than 2| x | in magnitude, where x is the input (why?).

• We next show that if tsp (d) ∈ P, then tsp has a polynomial-time algorithm.

(26)

An Algorithm for tsp Using tsp (d)

1: Perform a binary search over interval [ 0, 2| x | ] by calling tsp (d) to obtain the shortest distance, C;

2: for i, j = 1, 2, . . . , n do

3: Call tsp (d) with B = C and dij = C + 1;

4: if “no” then

5: Restore dij to old value; {Edge [ i, j ] is critical.}

6: end if

7: end for

8: return the tour with edges whose dij ≤ C;

(27)

Analysis

• An edge that is not on any optimal tour will be eliminated, with its dij set to C + 1.

• In fact, an edge which is not on all remaining optimal tours will also be eliminated.

• So the algorithm ends with n edges which are not eliminated (why?).

• This is true even if there are multiple optimal tours!a

aThanks to a lively class discussion on November 12, 2013.

(28)

Analysis (concluded)

• There are O(| x | + n2) calls to the algorithm for tsp (d).

• Each call has an input length of O(| x |).

• So if tsp (d) can be solved in polynomial time, so can tsp.

• Hence tsp (d) and tsp are equally hard (or easy).

Randomized Algorithms

• Randomized algorithms flip unbiased coins.

• There are important problems for which there are no known efficient deterministic algorithms but for which very efficient randomized algorithms exist.

– Extraction of square roots, for instance.

• There are problems where randomization is necessary.

– Secure protocols.

• Randomized version can be more efficient.

Bipartite Perfect Matching

• We are given a bipartite graph G = (U, V, E).

– U = {u1, u2, . . . , un}.

– V = {v1, v2, . . . , vn}.

– E ⊆ U × V .

• We are asked if there is a perfect matching.

– A permutation π of {1, 2, . . . , n} such that (ui, vπ(i)) ∈ E

for all i ∈ {1, 2, . . . , n}.

• A perfect matching contains n edges.

Number of Roots of a Polynomial

Lemma 60 (Schwartz (1980)) Let p(x1, x2, . . . , xm) ̸≡ 0 be a polynomial in m variables each of degree at most d. Let M ∈ Z+. Then the number of m-tuples

(x1, x2, . . . , xm) ∈ {0, 1, . . . , M − 1}m such that p(x1, x2, . . . , xm) = 0 is

≤ mdMm−1.

• By induction on m (consult the textbook).

(43)

Density Attack

• The density of roots in the domain is at most mdMm−1

Mm = md

M . (9)

• So suppose p(x1, x2, . . . , xm) ̸≡ 0.

• Then a random

(x1, x2, . . . , xm) ∈ { 0, 1, . . . , M − 1 }m has a probability of ≤ md/M of being a root of p.

• Note that M is under our control!

– One can raise M to lower the error probability, e.g.

(44)

Density Attack (concluded)

Here is a sampling algorithm to test if p(x1, x2, . . . , xm) ̸≡ 0.

1: Choose i1, . . . , im from {0, 1, . . . , M − 1} randomly;

2: if p(i1, i2, . . . , im) ̸= 0 then

3: return “p is not identically zero”;

4: else

5: return “p is (probably) identically zero”;

(45)

Analysis

• If p(x1, x2, . . . , xm) ≡ 0 , the algorithm will always be correct as p(i1, i2, . . . , im) = 0.

• Suppose p(x1, x2, . . . , xm) ̸≡ 0.

– The algorithm will answer incorrectly with

probability at most md/M by Eq. (9) on p. 510.

• We next return to the original problem of bipartite perfect matching.

• If G has no perfect matchings, the algorithm will always be correct as det(AG(i11, . . . , inn)) = 0.

• Suppose G has a perfect matching.

– The algorithm will answer incorrectly with

probability at most md/M = 0.5 with m = n2, d = 1 and M = 2n2 in Eq. (9) on p. 510.

– Whether it can be found efficiently is another matter.

• Once (i11, . . . , inn) is available, the algorithm can be made deterministic.
