Title:
Attack on A New Public Key Cryptosystem from ISC’02 (LNCS 2433)

Authors: Fangguo Zhang, Shengli Liu, Kwangjo Kim

Abstract:

In ISC 2002, J. Zheng proposed a new public key
cryptosystem whose security is based upon the algebraic problem of
reducing a high degree matrix to its canonical form by similarity
transformations. In this paper, we show that factoring a
polynomial over a finite field can be used to break down Zheng’s
public key cryptosystem. The complexity of our attack is
polynomial time. In other word, the underlying problem of Zheng’s
public key cryptosystem is not a ``hard’’ problem.
