Boneh and Venkatesan have recently proposed a polynomial time algorithm for recovering a ``hidden'' element $\alpha$ of a finite field $\F_p$ of $p$ elements from rather short strings of the most significant bits of the remainder mo\-du\-lo $p$ of $\alpha t$ for several values of $t$ selected uniformly at random ... more >>>
