Let p and r be two primes and n, m be two distinct divisors of pr. Consider the n-th and m-th cyclotomic polynomials. In this paper, we present lower and upper bounds for the coefficients of the inverse of one of them modulo the other one. We mention an application to torus-based cryptography.
We consider representations of algebraic tori $T_n(F_q)$ over finite fields. We make use of normal elliptic bases to show that, for infinitely many squarefree integers $n$ and infinitely many values of $q$, we can encode $m$ torus elements, to a small fixed overhead and to $m$ $ϕ(n)$-tuples of $F_q$ elements, in quasi-linear time in $\log q$. This improves upon previously known algorithms, which all have a quasi-quadratic complexity. As a result, the cost of the encoding phase is now negligible in Diffie-Hellman cryptographic schemes.
