Primality Testing and Integer Factorization in Public-Key Cryptography
Song Y. Yan
Although the Primality Testing Problem (PTP) has been proved to be solvable in deterministic polynomial-time (P) in 2002 by Agrawal, Kayal and Saxena, the Integer Factorization Problem (IFP) still remains unsolvable in P. The security of many practical Public-Key Cryptosystems and Protocols such as RSA (invented by Rivest, Shamir and Adleman) relies on the computational intractability of IFP. This monograph provides a survey of recent progress in Primality Testing and Integer Factorization, with implications to factoring-based Public Key Cryptography.
Notable features of this second edition are the several new sections and more than 100 new pages that are added. These include a new section in Chapter 2 on the comparison of Rabin-Miller probabilistic test in RP, Atkin-Morain elliptic curve test in ZPP and AKS deterministic test in P; a new section in Chapter 3 on recent work in quantum factoring; and a new section in Chapter 4 on post-quantum cryptography.
To make the book suitable as an advanced undergraduate and/or postgraduate text/reference, about ten problems at various levels of difficulty are added at the end of each section, making about 300 problems in total contained in the book; most of the problems are research-oriented with prizes ordered by individuals or organizations to a total amount over five million US dollars.
Primality Testing and Integer Factorization in Public Key Cryptography is designed for practitioners and researchers in industry and graduate-level students in computer science and mathematics.
Primality Testing and Integer Factorization in Public-Key Cryptography introduces various algorithms for primality testing and integer factorization, with their applications in public-key cryptography and information security. More specifically, this book explores basic concepts and results in number theory in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 discusses various algorithms for primality testing and prime number generation, with an emphasis on the Miller-Rabin probabilistic test, the Goldwasser-Kilian and Atkin-Morain elliptic curve tests, and the Agrawal-Kayal-Saxena deterministic test for primality. Chapter 3 introduces various algorithms, particularly the Elliptic Curve Method (ECM), the Quadratic Sieve (QS) and the Number Field Sieve (NFS) for integer factorization. This chapter also discusses some other computational problems that are related to factoring, such as the square root problem, the discrete logarithm problem and the quadratic residuosity problem.

From the reviews of the second edition:
"The well-written and self-contained second edition ‘is designed for a professional audience composed of researchers practitioners in industry.’ In addition, ‘this book is also suitable as a secondary text for graduate-level students in computer science, mathematics, and engineering,’ as it contains about 300 problems. … Overall … ‘this monograph provides a survey of recent progress in Primality Testing and Integer Factorization, with implications in factoring-based Public Key Cryptography.’" (Hao Wang, ACM Computing Reviews, April, 2009)
