  4. Prime Numbers (1/2) • prime numbers only have divisors of 1 and self • they cannot be written as a product of other numbers • note: 1 is prime, but is generally not of interest • eg. 2,3,5,7 are prime, 4,6,8,9,10 are not • prime numbers are central to number theory

  5. Prime Numbers (2/2) • list of prime number less than 200 is: 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97 101 103 107 109 113 127 131 137 139 149 151 157 163 167 173 179 181 191 193 197 199

  6. Prime Factorisation • to factor a number n is to write it as a product of other numbers: n=a × b × c • note that factoring a number is relatively hard compared to multiplying the factors together to generate the number • the prime factorisation of a number n is when its written as a product of primes • eg. 91=7×13 ; 3600=24×32×52

  7. Relatively Prime Numbers & GCD • two numbers a, b are relatively primeif have no common divisors apart from 1 • eg. 8 & 15 are relatively prime since factors of 8 are 1,2,4,8 and of 15 are 1,3,5,15 and 1 is the only common factor • conversely can determine the greatest common divisor by comparing their prime factorizations and using least powers • eg. 300=21×31×52 18=21×32 hence GCD(18,300)=21×31×50=6

  8. Fermat's Theorem • ap-1 mod p = 1 • where p is prime and gcd(a,p)=1 • also known as Fermat’s Little Theorem • useful in public key and primality testing • Ifx = ap-2 mod p thena*x mod p = 1 so x will be the inverse of a in prime p.

  9. Euler Totient Function (n) (1/4) • when doing arithmetic modulo n • complete set of residuesis: 0..n-1 • reduced set of residuesis those numbers (residues) which are relatively prime to n • eg for n=10, • complete set of residues is {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} • reduced set of residues is {1,3,7,9} • number of elements in reduced set of residues is called the Euler Totient Function (n)

  10. Euler Totient Function (n) (2/4) • to compute (n) need to count number of elements to be excluded • in general need prime factorization, but • for p (p prime) (p) = p-1 • for p.q (p,q prime) (p.q) = (p-1)(q-1) • eg. • (37) = 36 • (21) = (3–1)×(7–1) = 2×6 = 12

  11. Euler Totient Function (n) (3/4) case 2: n = pk (with p prime and k an integer) (n) = (pk) = pk - pk-1(pk) = pk-1(p-1) From the pk elements of the CSR, we will subtract all the factors 1p, 2p, 3p, ...(pk-1-1)p and the zero. Example: • RSR(16) = {1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15} (16) = (24) = 24-1(2-1) = 8 • (125) = (53) = 53-1(5-1) = 100 Chapter 7 : Number Theory

  12. Euler Totient Function (n) (4/4) case 3: n = p1e1p2e2 ... ptet (pi are primes) t (n) =  piei-1 (pi - 1) i=1 Example: • RSR(20) = {1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, 19} (20) = (22 5) = 8 • (360) = (23 325) = 96 Chapter 7 : Number Theory

  13. Euler Theorem • a generalisation of Fermat's Theorem • aø(n) mod N = 1 • where gcd(a,N)=1 • eg. • a = 3; n = 10; ø(10) = 4; hence 34 = 81 = 1 mod 10 • a = 2; n = 11; ø(11) = 10; hence 210 = 1024 = 1 mod 11

  14. Inverses using Euler theorem • If GCD(a,n)=1 then • x =a-1 mod n = a(n)-1 mod n • Example: • inv (4, 9) • (9) = 6  x = 46-1 mod 9 = 7 • Hence inv (4, 9) = 7 and inv (7, 9) = 4 Chapter 7 : Number Theory

  15. Primality Testing (1/2) • often need to find large prime numbers • traditionally sieve using trial division • ie. divide by all numbers (primes) in turn less than the square root of the number • only works for small numbers

  16. Primality Testing (2/2) • alternatively can use statistical primality tests based on properties of primes • for which all primes numbers satisfy property • but some composite numbers, called pseudo-primes, also satisfy the property

  17. Miller Rabin Algorithm • a test based on Fermat’s Theorem • algorithm is: TEST (n) is: 1. Find integers k, q, k > 0, q odd, so that (n–1) = 2kq 2. Select a random integer a, 1<a<n–1 3. if aqmod n = 1 then return (“maybe prime"); 4. for j = 0 to k – 1 do 5. if (a2jqmod n = n-1) then return(“maybe prime") 6. return ("composite“)

  18. Probabilistic Considerations • if Miller-Rabin returns “composite” the number is definitely not prime • otherwise is a prime or a pseudo-prime • chance it detects a pseudo-prime is < ¼ • hence if repeat test with different random a then chance n is prime after t tests is: • Pr(n prime after t tests) = 1-4-t • eg. for t = 10 this probability is > 0.99999

  19. Prime Distribution • prime number theorem states that primes occur roughly every (ln n) integers • since can immediately ignore evens and multiples of 5, in practice only need test 0.4 ln(n) numbers of size n before locate a prime • note this is only the “average” sometimes primes are close together, at other times are quite far apart

  20. Chinese Remainder Theorem (1/3) • used to speed up modulo computations • working modulo a product of numbers • eg. mod M = m1m2..mk • Chinese Remainder theorem lets us work in each moduli mi separately • since computational cost is proportional to size, this is faster than working in the full modulus M

  21. Chinese Remainder Theorem (2/3) • can implement CRT in several ways • to compute (A mod M) can firstly compute all (ai mod mi) separately and then combine results to get answer using:

  22. Chinese Remainder Theorem (3/3) • If n = d1d2d3 ... dtwith di = piei (p prime) • The system of equations: x mod di = xi (i = 1, 2, 3, ... t) • It has a common solution in [0, n-1 t x =  (n/di)yixi mod n i=1 with yi = inv [(n/di), di Chapter 7 : Number Theory

  23. Utility of the CRT • Calculating the inverse of a modulon through the Chinese Remainder Theorem is quite boring and quite absurd as you´ve already noticed • In the Chinese Remainder Theorem algorithm´s development for finding an inverse other inverses must be calculated and this makes no sense... • Besides other things, when we see the RSA cipher system and the chapter dedicated to Cryptographic Protocols, we'll see an interesting application of this theorem. Chapter 7 : Number Theory

  24. Inverses using CRT (1) Problem: find x = inv (49, 3.960) n= 3.960  n = 2332511 = d1d2d3d4 = 89511 a = 49 b = 1 We form the generic equations: a  xi mod di = b 49x1 mod 8 = 1 49x2 mod 9 = 1 49x3 mod 5 = 1 49x4 mod 11 = 1 Chapter 7 : Number Theory

  25. Inverses using CRT (2) 49x1 mod 8 = 1  1x1 mod 8 = 1  x1 = 1 49x2 mod 9 = 1  4x2 mod 9 = 1  x2 = 7 49x3 mod 5 = 1  4x3 mod 5 = 1  x3 = 4 49x4 mod 11 = 1  5x4 mod 11 = 1  x4 = 9 Hence x1 = 1 x2 = 7 x3 = 4 x4 = 9 Chapter 7 : Number Theory

  26. Inverses using CRT (3) We solve now the auxiliary equation of the Chinese Remainder Theorem yi = inv [(n/di), di y1 = inv [3.960/8), 8 = inv (495, 8) = 7 y2 = inv [(3.960)/9, 9 = inv (440, 9) = 8 y3 = inv [(3.960)/5, 5 = inv (792,5) = 3 y4 = inv [(3.960)/11, 11 = inv (360, 11) = 7 Hence: y1 = 7 y2 = 8 y3 = 3 y4 = 7 Chapter 7 : Number Theory

  27. Inverses using CRT (4) We finally compute x = [(n/d1)y1x1 + (n/d2)y2x2 + (n/d3)y3x3 + (n/d4)y4x4 = [49571 + 44087 + 79234 + 36079 mod 3.960 = [3.465 + 880 + 1.584 + 2.880 mod 3.960 = 889 Hence: x = inv (49, 3.960) = 889 Chapter 7 : Number Theory

  28. Primitive Roots • from Euler’s theorem have aø(n)mod n=1 • consider ammod n=1, GCD(a,n)=1 • must exist for m= ø(n) but may be smaller • once powers reach m, cycle will repeat • if smallest is m= ø(n) then a is called a primitive root • if p is prime, then successive powers of a "generate" the group mod p • these are useful but relatively hard to find

  29. Discrete Logarithms (1/2) • the inverse problem to exponentiation is to find the discrete logarithmof a number modulo p • that is to find x where ax = b mod p • written as x=loga b mod p or x=inda,p(b)

  30. Discrete Logarithms (2/2) • if a is a primitive root then always exists, otherwise may not • x = log3 4 mod 13 (x st 3x = 4 mod 13) has no answer • x = log2 3 mod 13 = 4 by trying successive powers • whilst exponentiation is relatively easy, finding discrete logarithms is generally a hard problem

  31. Rapid exponentiation algorithm • Problem: Find x = AB mod n • Prepare: Obtain binary representation of the B exponent with k bits: • B2  bk-1bk-2...bi...b1b0 • Algorithm: • Do x = 1 • For i = k-1, ..., 0 do • x = x2 mod n • If (bi = 1) then x = xA mod n • Example: 1983 mod 91 = 24 • (used just 16 operations) Chapter 7 : Number Theory

  32. Summary • have considered: • prime numbers • Fermat’s and Euler’s Theorems • Primality Testing • Chinese Remainder Theorem • Discrete Logarithms • Rapid Exponentiation Algorithm
