Modifications of Markovski quasigroup based crypto-algorithm have been proposed. Some of these modifications are based on the systems of orthogonal n-ary groupoids. T-quasigroups based stream ciphers have been constructed.
In this paper, we identify many important properties and develop criteria for the existence of subquasigroups in finite quasigroups. Based on these results, we propose an effective method that concludes the nonexistence of subquasigroup of…
The theory of finite simple groups is a (rather unexplored) area likely to provide interesting computational problems and modelling tools useful in a cryptographic context. In this note, we review some applications of finite non-abelian…

In this paper, we propose a quasigroup based block cipher design. The round functions of the encryption and decryption algorithms use quasigroup based string transformations. We show the robustness of the design against the standard…
We use quasi-orders to describe the structure of C-groups. We do this by associating a quasi-order to each compatible C-relation of a group, and then give the structure of such quasi-ordered groups. We also reformulate in terms of…
We investigate classifications of quasitrivial semigroups defined by certain equivalence relations. The subclass of quasitrivial semigroups that preserve a given total ordering is also investigated. In the special case of finite semigroups,…

We consider actions of a group or a semigroup on a set, which generalize the setup of discrete logarithm based cryptosystems. Such cryptographic group actions have gained increasing attention recently in the context of isogeny-based…
Quantum cryptography could well be the first application of quantum mechanics at the individual quanta level. The very fast progress in both theory and experiments over the recent years are reviewed, with emphasis on open questions and…
