An Implementation of the Extended Tower Number Field Sieve using 4d Sieving in a Box and a Record Computation in Fp4
We report on an implementation of the Extended Tower Number Field Sieve (ExTNFS) and record computation in a medium characteristic finite field Fp4 of 512 bits size. We show that sieving in a box (orthotope) for collecting relations for ExTNFS is still fast in 4 dimensions.
