A discrete logarithm problem with auxiliary input (DLPwAI) is a problem to find a from G, aG, a^d G in an additive cyclic group generated by an element G of prime order r, and a positive integer d satisfying d|(r-1). The infeasibility of this problem assures the security of some cryptographic schemes. In 2006, Cheon proposed a novel algorithm for solving DLPwAI (Cheon's algorithm). This paper reports our experimental results of Cheon's algorithm by implementing it with some speeding-up techniques. In fact, we have succeeded to solve DLPwAI on a pairing-friendly elliptic curve of 160-bit order in 1314 core days. Implications of our experiments on cryptographic schemes are also discussed. This paper was accepted by PKC 2012, and this research is joint work with Goichiro Hanaoka (RISEC, AIST), Tetsuya Izu, Masahiko Takenaka, and Masaya Yasuda (FUJITSU LABORATORIES Ltd.).
