Quadratic residuosity problem — The quadratic residuosity problem in computational number theory is the question of distinguishing by calculation the quadratic residues in modular arithmetic for a modulus N , where N is a composite number. This is an important consideration in… … Wikipedia
Decisional composite residuosity assumption — The decisional composite residuosity assumption (DCRA) is a mathematical assumption used in cryptography. In particular, the assumption is used in the proof of the Paillier cryptosystem. Informally the DCRA states that given a composite n… … Wikipedia
Higher residuosity problem — In cryptography most public key cryptosystems are founded on problems that are believed to be intractable. The higher residuosity problem is one such problem. This problem is easier to solve than integer factorization, so the assumption that this … Wikipedia
Paillier cryptosystem — The Paillier cryptosystem, named after and invented by Pascal Paillier in 1999, is a probabilistic asymmetric algorithm for public key cryptography. The problem of computing n th residue classes is believed to be computationally difficult. This… … Wikipedia
IP (complexity) — In computational complexity theory, the class IP is the class of problems solvable by an interactive proof system. The concept of an interactive proof system was first introduced by Goldwasser, et al. in 1985. An interactive proof system consists … Wikipedia
