A New Twofold Cornacchia-Type Algorithm

Bei Wang, Yi Ouyang, Songsong Li, and Honggang Hu

Abstract

We focus on exploring more potential of Longa and Sica's algorithm (ASIACRYPT 2012), which is an elaborate iterated Cornacchia algorithm that can compute short bases for 4-GLV decompositions. The algorithm consists of two sub-algorithms, the first one in the ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}$ and the second one in the Gaussian integer ring $\mathbb{Z}[i]$. We observe that $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ in the second sub-algorithm can be replaced by another Euclidean domain $\mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ $(\omega=\frac{-1+\sqrt{-3}}{2})$. As a consequence, we design a new twofold Cornacchia-type algorithm with a theoretic upper bound of output $C\cdot n^{1/4}$, where $C=\frac{3+\sqrt{3}}{2}\sqrt{1+|r|+|s|}$ with small values $r, s$ given by the curve. Besides, we give some applications of our new algotithm in some cuvres not considered in Longa and Sica's algorithm.
