Individual Logarithm Step in Non-prime Fields

Participant : Aurore Guillevic.

In [20], the previous work [33] on speeding-up the first phase of the individual discrete logarithm computation, the initial splitting, a.k.a. smoothing phase, is extended to any non-prime finite field ${𝔽}_{p^n}$ where $n$ is composite. It is also applied to the new variant Tower-NFS.
