Title
Reconstructing noisy polynomial evaluation in residue rings
Abstract
Let q1 be an integer and let a and b be elements of the residue ring Z"q of integers modulo q. We show how, when given a polynomial f@?Z"q[X] and approximations to v"0,v"1@?Z"q such that v"1=f(v"0)modq one can recover v"0 and v"1 efficiently. This result has direct applications to predicting the polynomial congruential generator: a sequence (v"n) of pseudorandom numbers defined by the relation v"n"+"1=f(v"n)modq for some polynomial f@?Z"q[X]. The applications lead to analogues of results known for the linear congruential generator x"n"+"1=ax"n+bmodq, although the results are much more restrictive due to nonlinearity of the problem.
