Abstract

Large integer decomposition is the most direct attack method of RSA public key encryption algorithm, and it is closely related to the security of RSA. Therefore, the problem of large integer decomposition has become a problem for cryptographers and mathematicians. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the current research situation of large integer decomposition problem, analyze the basic principle and implementation method of the current mainstream large integer decomposition algorithm, and forecast the future research trend of large integer decomposition.
