Koyama, U. M. Maurer, T. Okamoto} and {\it S. A. Vanstone} [Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 576, 252-266 (1992; Zbl 0839.94007)] pointed out the existence of new one-way trapdoor functions similar to the RSA on elliptic curves over a ring. At Eurocrypt’96, {\it B. Meyer} and {\it V. Müller} [Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 1070, 49-59 (1996)] presented another elliptic RSA-type cryptosystem with a public encryption exponent equal to 2. The authors show that this cryptosystem may be reduced to the cryptosystem of Rabin-Williams [{\it M. O. Rabin}, Digitalized signatures and public-key functions as intractable as factorization. Technical Report MIT/LCS/TR-212, MIT, Laboratory for Computer Science, January (1979) and {\it H. C. Williams}, IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory. IT-26, 726-729 (1980; Zbl 0466.94018)]. This has a lot of consequences. For example, Meyer and Müller claimed that 11 messages are required to mount successfully the so-called low exponent attack against their cryptosystem. However, since the system is reducible to the Rabin-Williams’ one, only two messages are required by using the algorithm of Coppersmith. rv:
