Abstract
The MOR cryptosystem is a natural generalization of the El-Gamal cryptosystem to non-abelian groups. Using a -group, a cryptosystem was built by this author in 'A simple generalization of El-Gamal cryptosystem to non-abelian groups'. It seems reasonable to assume the cryptosystem is as secure as the El-Gamal cryptosystem over finite fields. A natural question arises can one make a better cryptosystem using -groups? In this paper we show that the answer is no.
