Im trying to create a function to decrypt based on Rabin, and thats what a did so far:

def decriptograph(n,m):

p,q = factor(n)
p = p[0]
q = q[0]
mp = m % p
mq = m % q
if (((p-3) % 4) <> 0) or (((q-3) % 4) <> 0):
    return -1

x1 = mp**((p-1)/4) % p  
return x1

Happens that if i try to use decriptograph(328419349,249500293)

It wont work, gives the following exception:

to an integer

Yeah, i know, pretty big number but it works really really smooth on my python(without sage)

Any help?

You probably want (p-3)/4 instead of (p-1)/4 in the definition of x1, since this affectation takes place only if the if clause failed, meaning that (p - 3) % 4 is zero.

The reason it works in Python is that in Python, if k is an integer, k / 4 returns the integer part of k over 4, while in Sage, it returns a rational. The error message said:

TypeError: unable to convert x (=1146...9104*(1205...3824*sqrt(42))) to an integer

which tells you a square root was being extracted, and this could only happen at the exponentiation step mp**((p-1)/4) (in your example, (p-1)/4 is a half-integer).

Note that you can force integer division by using // instead of /, so you could write x1 = mp**((p-1)//4) % p.

Combining these two tricks, your code becomes:

sage: def decriptograph(n,m):
....:         p, q = factor(n)
....:         p, q = p[0], q[0]
....:         mp, mq = m % p, m % q
....:         if (p - 3) % 4 or (q - 3) % 4:
....:                 return -1
....:         x1 = mp ** ((p - 3) // 4) % p
....:         return x1
....: 
sage: decriptograph(328419349,249500293)

you're so right dude, except fort the part of (p-3)%4 which was in fact (p+1)/4, but you told that i realized that i was going wrong there! I just mistyped +1 for -1 there, thank you again!

@H_DANILO - if you like the answer enough, you can "accept" it :)
