Square root attacks, such as the Baby Step-Giant Step algorithm and Pollard's Rho method, play a significant role in determining the required bit lengths for secure parameters in cryptographic systems based on the discrete logarithm problem (DLP). These attacks exploit the mathematical properties of the DLP to find solutions more efficiently than brute force methods,
