A SAT-based Public Key Cryptography Scheme

Cryptography and Security 2015-08-19 v3

Abstract

A homomorphic public key crypto-scheme based on the Boolean Satisfiability Problem is proposed. The public key is a SAT formula satisfied by the private key. Probabilistic encryption generates functions implied to be false by the public key XOR the message bits. A zero-knowledge proof is used to provide signatures.
