NTL is an object oriented library for number theory, written
|
||
|
|
by Victor Shoup. It provides objects and methods for
|
||
|
|
- arbitrary length integers
|
||
|
|
- finite fields
|
||
|
|
- polynomials over fields
|
||
|
|
- extensions of fields.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NTL's lattice reduction code is also one of the best available anywhere, in
|
||
|
|
terms of both speed and robustness, and one of the few implementations of block
|
||
|
|
Korkin-Zolotarev reduction with the Schnorr-Horner pruning heuristic. It has
|
||
|
|
been used to "crack" several cryptosystems.
