Bitcoin relies on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to secure wallet addresses and validate ownership. But ECC, like RSA, is vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm — a quantum computing method capable of ...

[Ihsan Kehribar] points out a clever trick you can use to quickly and efficiently compute the logarithm of a 32-bit integer. The technique relies on the CLZ instruction which counts the number of l… ...

The elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) lies at the heart of modern public-key cryptography. It concerns the challenge of determining an unknown scalar multiplier given two points on ...

Ellenberg states that not many people know what a logarithm is. So he says that the logarithm of a positive number N, called log N , is the number of digits it has! Well, not quite, but he goes on to ...

The logarithm operation is widely used in digital signal processing applications such as speech recognition [4] [10] and 3D graphics [5]. The square root operation is also present in many modern ...

A logarithm is a mathematical operation that determines how many times a certain number, called the base, is multiplied by itself to reach another number. Because logarithms relate geometric ...

John Napier and his logarithm simplified these tedious calculations. In 1614, he published Mirifici logarithmorum canonis descripto, which translates to A Description of the Wonderful Table of ...

The law of the iterated logarithm for a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables is proved. Neither an assumption about the existence of finite variance nor about the symmetry ...
