comment Is there a method to break an EC curve for all key-pairs (Q,d) such that (Q=d*G) faster than breaking every single key-pair?
The problem with this is that you're assuming separate pre-calculation and lookup phases. A single phase multi-target attack is an important scenario too, where you simply want to crack one of a million known public keys. I believe the gain in that scenario is still rather small, but it exists.

comment Can I combine two of SHA-3 candidates cryptography hash functions and obtain more secure Algorithm?
What are you using the hash function for? Only integrity checking? Then concatenating the hashes should work. (Obviously makes the hash longer)

@blejzz The best increase would be 1. You simply want to try the smallest $Y$s first, since those have the highest success chance.

Do you have a typo in the condition for $Z$? The $*Z>Z$ part is weird.
