Prove that the grade-school multiplication algorithm (page 24), when applied to binary numbers, always gives the right answer.
A positive integer is a power if it is of the form , where ,role="math" localid="1658399000008" are positive integers and .
(a) Give an efficient algorithm that takes as input a number and determines whether it is a square, that is, whether it can be written as for some positive integer . What is the running time of your algorithm?
(b) Show that if (with role="math" localid="1658399171717" , , and all positive integers), then either role="math" localid="1658399158890" .
(c) Give an efficient algorithm for determining whether a positive integer is a power. Analyze its running time.
Justify the correctness of the recursive division algorithm given in page , and show that it takes time bit inputs.
Suppose that instead of using a compositein the RSA cryptosystem (Figure 1.9), we simply use a prime modulus p . As in RSA, we would have an encryption exponent e, and the encryption of a message would be Prove that this new cryptosystem is not secure, by giving an efficient algorithm to decrypt: that is, an algorithm that given and as input, computes . Justify the correctness and analyze the running time of your decryption algorithm.
