Integer factorization is an important problem in modern cryptography as it is the basis of RSA encryption. I have implemented two integer factorization algorithms: Pollard’s rho algorithm and Dixon’s factorization method. While the results are not revolutionary, they illustrate the software design difficulties inherent to integer factorization. The code for this project is available at https://...

A recently developed PLUS factorization holds great promise in image coding due to its simplicity and integer reversibility. However, existing PLUS factorizations did not consider stability and optimality. To address these problems, we propose methodologies to design stable and optimal PLUS factorization algorithms. Firstly, we propose three stable PLUS factorization algorithms, prove the stabi...
