The braid group is an important non commutative group, at the same time, it is an important tool in quantum field theory with better topological structure, and often used as a research carrier for anti-quantum cryptographic algorithms. This…
Braid group is a very important non-commutative group. It is also an important tool of quantum field theory, and has good topological properties. This paper focuses on the provable security research of cryptosystem over braid group, which…
Artin's braid groups have been recently suggested as a new source for public-key cryptography. In this paper we propose the first group signature schemes based on the conjugacy problem, decomposition problem and root problem in the braid…
After some excitement generated by recently suggested public key exchange protocols due to Anshel-Anshel-Goldfeld and Ko-Lee et al., it is a prevalent opinion now that the conjugacy search problem is unlikely to provide sufficient level of…
The braid group has recently attracted much attention. This is primarily based upon the discovery of its usage in various cryptosystems [AAG],[KLCHKP]. One major focus of current research has been in solving decision problems in braid…
Most common public key cryptosystems and public key exchange protocols presently in use, such as the RSA algorithm, Diffie-Hellman, and elliptic curve methods are number theory based and hence depend on the structure of abelian groups. The…
In this note, we describe a probabilistic attack on public key cryptosystems based on the word/conjugacy problems for finitely presented groups of the type proposed recently by Anshel, Anshel and Goldfeld. In such a scheme, one makes use of…
Public-key cryptosystems are suggested based on invariants of groups. We give also an overview of the known cryptosystems which involve groups.
One of the most interesting questions about a group is if its word problem can be solved and how. The word problem in the braid group is of particular interest to topologists, algebraists and geometers, and is the target of intensive…
One of the possible generalizations of the discrete logarithm problem to arbitrary groups is the so-called conjugacy search problem (sometimes erroneously called just the conjugacy problem): given two elements a, b of a group G and the…
We begin with a review of the notion of a braid group. We then discuss some known solutions to decision problems in braid groups. We then move on to proving new results in braid group algorithmics. We offer a quick solution to the…

The root extraction problem in braid groups is the following: given a braid $\beta \in \mathcal{B}_n$ and a number $k\in \mathbb{N}$, find $\alpha\in \mathcal{B}_n$ such that $\alpha^k=\beta$. In the last decades, many cryptosystems such as…
General cryptographic schemes are presented where keys can be one-time or ephemeral. Processes for key exchange are derived. Public key cryptographic schemes based on the new systems are easily established. Authentication and signature…
We develop a public key cryptosystem based on invariants of diagonalizable groups and investigate properties of such cryptosystem first over finite fields, then over number fields and finally over finite rings. We consider the security of…
Braids groups provide an alternative to number theoretic public cryptography and can be implemented quite efficiently. The paper proposes five signature schemes: Proxy Signature, Designated Verifier, Bi-Designated Verifier, Designated…
Several cryptographic protocols constructed based on less-known algorithmic problems, such as those in non-commutative groups, group rings, semigroups, etc., which claim quantum security, have been broken through classical reduction methods…
The word problem of a group is a very important question. The word problem in the braid group is of particular interest for topologists, algebraists and geometers. In previouse article we have looked at the braid group from a topological…
There are several public key establishment protocols as well as complete public key cryptosystems based on allegedly hard problems from combinatorial (semi)group theory known by now. Most of these problems are search problems, i.e., they…
A new presentation of the $n$-string braid group $B_n$ is studied. Using it, a new solution to the word problem in $B_n$ is obtained which retains most of the desirable features of the Garside-Thurston solution, and at the same time makes…
