Title:
Towards a Uniform Description of Several Group Based Cryptographic Primitives
Authors: Maria Isabel Gonzalez Vasco, Consuelo Martinez, Rainer Steinwandt
Abstract:The public key cryptosystems MST_1 and MST_2 make use of certain kinds of factorizations of finite groups. We show that generalizing such factorizations to infinite groups allows a uniform description of several proposed cryptographic primitives. In particular, a generalization of MST_2 can be regarded as a unifying framework for several suggested cryptosystems including the ElGamal public key system, a public key system based on braid groups and the MOR cryptosystem.
