TITLE: Polynomial Selection for the General Number Field Sieve

ABSTRACT:

The Number Field Sieve is asymptotically the fastest algorithm for
factoring a large integer N with no small prime factors, such as an
RSA modulus. An early step in the algorithm selects two polynomials
with a common root modulo N. This talk will present some techniques
for choosing the polynomials when N has no nice algebraic form.
