Deterministic Polynomial Time Equivalence between Factoring and Key-Recovery Attack on Takagi's RSA

Abstract

For RSA, May showed a deterministic polynomial time equivalence of computing d to factoring N(=pq). On the other hand, Takagi showed a variant of RSA such that the decryption algorithm is faster than the standard RSA, where N=p^rq while ed=1 mod (p-1)(q-1). In this paper, we show that a deterministic polynomial time equivalence also holds in this variant. The coefficient matrix T to which LLL algorithm is applied is no longer lower triangular, and hence we develop a new technique to overcome this problem.
