Title:
A LINEAR ATTACK ON A KEY EXCHANGE PROTOCOL USING EXTENSIONS OF MATRIX SEMIGROUPS

Authors: JINTAI DING, ALEXEI MIASNIKOV, ALEXANDER USHAKOV

Abstract:

In this paper we analyze the Kahrobaei-Lam-Shpilrain (KLS) key exchange protocols that use extensions by endomorpisms of matrices over a Galois field proposed in \cite{Kahrobaei-Lam-Shpilrain:2014}. We show that both protocols are vulnerable to a simple linear algebra attack.
