Abstract

We give a survey of recent results on the hidden number problem introduced by Boneh and Venkatesan in 1996 and its numerous generalizations. Many of the results in this area are based on a rather surprising combination of two celebrated number theoretic techniques: bounds of exponential sums and lattice basis reduction algorithms, which are briefly outlined as well. We also describe several cryptographic applications and outline some possible directions for further research.
