Measuring Human Cryptanalysis Effort

Published
Record updated

Summary

Matthew Green has published a site estimating how much public cryptanalysis each public-key assumption has received, using about sixteen thousand candidate papers. The study covers ECDLP, lattices, and syndrome decoding, converting papers into estimated research-allocation years. The author notes that publication-based estimates may substantially overstate actual time spent, and that unpublished work, including secret intelligence-agency cryptanalysis, is not counted.
