Abstract

In 2018, Amadori et al. proposed a new variant of index calculus to solve the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP), using Semaev’s summation polynomials. The variant drastically decreases the number of required Gröbner basis computations, and it outperforms other index calculus algorithms for the ECDLP over prime fields. In this paper, we provide several improvements to accelerate to solve systems of multivariate equations arising in the variant. A main improvement is to apply the hybrid method, which mixes exhaustive search and Gröbner bases techniques to solve multivariate systems over finite fields. We also make use of symmetries of summation polynomials. We show experimental results of our improvements, and give their complexity analysis to discuss a limitation of our acceleration in both theory and practice.
