Comparing factoring methods by target size, expected factor size and available hardware, with a practical sequencing recommendation.
How the number field sieve achieves its complexity, why polynomial selection matters so much, and the role of number field arithmetic.
The number field sieve: polynomial selection, sieving over two sides, the algebraic factor base and character columns, the square root step in a number field, and the special nu…
