### Paper: Oracle-Assisted Static Diffie-Hellman Is Easier Than Discrete Logarithms

Authors: Antoine Joux Emmanuel Thomé Reynald Lercier David Naccache URL: http://eprint.iacr.org/2008/217 Search ePrint Search Google This paper extends Joux-Naccache-Thom\'e's $e$-th root algorithm to the static Diffie-Hellman problem ({\sc sdhp}). The new algorithm can be adapted to diverse finite fields by customizing it with an {\sc nfs}-like core or an {\sc ffs}-like core. In both cases, after a number of {\sc sdhp} oracle queries, the attacker builds-up the ability to solve new {\sc sdhp} instances {\sl unknown before the query phase}. While sub-exponential, the algorithm is still significantly faster than all currently known {\sc dlp} and {\sc sdhp} resolution methods. We explore the applicability of the technique to various cryptosystems. The attacks were implemented in ${\mathbb F}_{2^{1025}}$ and also in ${\mathbb F}_{p}$, for a $516$-bit $p$.
