Title:
Circular Multiplicative Modular Exponentiation: A New Public Key Exchange Algorithm

Authors: Michele Fabbrini

Abstract:

The major objective of this paper is to present a theoretical model for an algorithm that has not been previously described in the literature, capable of generating a secret key through the transmission of data over a public channel. We explain how the method creates a shared secret key by attaining commutativity through the multiplication of the modular exponentiation of a minimum of two bases and an equal number of private exponents for each party involved in the exchange. In addition, we explore the relationship between CMME and the traditional Diffie-Hellman scheme. We just briefly discuss the algorithm’s security, opting to leave the essential investigation to cryptanalysts, while we elucidate on the algorithm’s mechanism by illustrating some cases.
