Title: Comments on the iterated knapsack attack

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5722902

L. Adleman has proposed a three step method for breaking the iterated knapsack that runs in polynomial time and is linear in the number of iterations. In this paper, we show that the first step is possibly exponential in the number of iterations, and that the second and third steps are exponential even for only three iterations.
