    Continued fractions and cryptographic applications
    (2022) Sookraj, Priyanka
    In this dissertation, Michael J. Wiener’s proposed attack on short secret exponents used in the RSA cryptosystem is studied and thus an application of continued fractions in the cryptanalysis is highlighted. Furthermore, some variants and improvements to the attack proposed by A. Dujella, M. Bunder and J. Tonien are studied.
