Welcome to the resource topic for 2003/099

Title:
Algorithms in Braid Groups

Authors: Matthew J. Campagna

Abstract:

Braid Groups have recently been considered for use in Public-Key
Cryptographic Systems. The most notable of these system has been the
Birman-Ko-Lee system presented at Crypto 2000. This article gives a brief introduction into braid groups and the hard problems on which public key systems have been defined. It suggests a canonical form max run form using the Artin generators and supplies some supporting algorithms necessary for cryptographic operations.
