Algorithmic Number Theory

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium, ANTS-V, held in Sydney, Australia, in July 2002.The 34 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited papers have gone through a thorough round of reviewing, selection and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on number theory, arithmetic geometry, elliptic curves and CM, point counting, cryptography, function fields, discrete logarithms and factoring, Groebner bases, and complexity.
