Abstract

Most string problems and their solutions are relevant to diverse applications such as pattern matching, data compression, recently bioinformatics, and so on. However, there have been few works on the relations between string problems and cryptographic problems. In this paper, we consider the following string reconstruction problems and show how these problems can be applied to cryptography. Given a string x of length n over a constant-sized alphabet ${\sum}$ and a set W of strings of lengths at most an integer $k({\leq}n)$, the first problem is to find the sequence of strings in W that reconstruct x by the minimum number of concatenations. We propose an O(kn+L)-time algorithm for this problem, where L is the sum of all lengths of strings in a given set, using suffix trees and a shortest path algorithm for directed acyclic graphs. The other is a dynamic version of the first problem and we propose an $O(k^3n+L)$-time algorithm. Finally, we show that exponentiation problems that arise in cryptography can be successfully reduced to these problems and propose a new solution for exponentiation.

대부분의 문자열 문제들과 이들에 대한 알고리즘들은 패턴 매칭, 데이타 압축, 생물정보학 등의 분야에 응용되어 왔다. 그러나 문자열 문제와 암호화 문제의 관련성에 대한 연구는 거의 진행되지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 다음과 같은 문자열 재구성 문제들에 대해 연구하고 이 결과들이 암호학에 응용될 수 있음을 보인다. 유한 알파벳으로 구성된 길이 n인 문자열 x와, 길이 $k({\leq}n)$ 이내의 문자열의 집합 W가 주어졌을 때, 첫 번째 문제는 내의 문자열들 중 일부 문자열들을 최소의 회수로 연결하여 x를 재구성할 수 있는 연결 순서를 찾는 문제이다. 이 문제에 대해 O(kn+L)-시간 알고리즘을 제시한다. 이때, L은 W 내의 모든 문자열들의 길이의 합을 표시한다. 두 번째 문제는 첫 번째 문제의 동적 버전이며 이에 대해 $O(k^3n+L)$시간 알고리즘을 제시한다. 마지막으로 암호학과 관련된 멱승문제와 위에 제시된 재구성 문제들과의 관련성을 보이고 멱승문제를 해결하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제시한다.
