\((d, B)\) - exceptional numbers with applications to cryptology

Jacek PomykaƂa, Warsaw University, Poland
In the lecture we define \((d, \zeta^i, B)\)-exceptional primes \(p\). We prove the upper bound for the corresponding primes when \(i=0\). The possible extensions will be announced. As an application the lower bound for the number of large prime \(q\)-orders (\(q|d\)) of elements generated by small intervals \([1,B] \mod p\) is established. In this connection the computational efficiency of cryptographic systems designs will be underlined.
