[Resource Topic] 2016/171: Commutativity, Associativity, and Public Key Cryptography

Welcome to the resource topic for 2016/171

Title:
Commutativity, Associativity, and Public Key Cryptography

Authors: Jacques Patarin, Valérie Nachef

Abstract:

In this paper, we will study some possible generalizations of the famous Diffie-Hellman algorithm. As we will see, at the end, most of these generalizations will not be secure or will be equivalent to some classical schemes. However, these results are not always obvious and moreover our analysis will present some interesting connections between the concepts of commutativity, associativity, and public key cryptography.
