Summary, in English
This work investigates the possibility of reusing colours, i.e., repeating the reduction functions, in the rainbow attack. We show how this outperforms the Hellman and the rainbow attack in a model of fixed resources. We try to characterize exactly when this improvement appears and in such a case the choice of an optimal number of colours.
