Starting from the one-way group action framework of Brassard and Yung (Crypto '90), we revisit building cryptography based on group actions. Several previous candidates for one-way group actions no longer stand, due to progress both on…
Key-exchange protocols have been overlooked as a possible means for implementing oblivious transfer (OT). In this paper we present a protocol for mutual exchange of secrets, 1-out-of-2 OT and coin flipping similar to Diffie-Hellman protocol…
This paper presents a novel methodology to test the security of the Diffie-Hellman public key exchange protocol. The security of many cryptographic schemes rely on the hardness of this problem. We are presenting a purely statistical test to…
We consider the minimal k-grouping problem: given a graph G=(V,E) and a constant k, partition G into subgraphs of diameter no greater than k, such that the union of any two subgraphs has diameter greater than k. We give a silent…
We describe an efficient quantum algorithm for computing discrete logarithms in semigroups using Shor's algorithms for period finding and discrete log as subroutines. Thus proposed cryptosystems based on the presumed hardness of discrete…

Distributed algorithms enable private Optimal Power Flow (OPF) computations by avoiding the need in sharing sensitive information localized in algorithms sub-problems. However, adversaries can still infer this information from the…
We give a quantum algorithm for a novel type of black-box problem: identifying a hidden $d$-regular base graph $G$ on $n$ vertices from oracle access to an obfuscated version of it, rather than traversing it. From $G$ we build the spired…
We give an algorithm for the hidden subgroup problem for the dihedral group $D_N$, or equivalently the cyclic hidden shift problem, that supersedes our first algorithm and is suggested by Regev's algorithm. It runs in $\exp(O(\sqrt{\log…
Regarding minimal assumptions, most of classical cryptography is known to depend on the existence of One-Way Functions (OWFs). However, recent evidence has shown that this is not the case when considering quantum resources. Besides the well…
This study is mainly about the discrete logarithm problem in the ElGamal cryptosystem over the abelian group U(n) where n is one of the following forms p^m, or 2p^m where p is an odd large prime and m is a positive integer. It is another…
We present deterministic algorithms for the Hidden Subgroup Problem. The first algorithm, for abelian groups, achieves the same asymptotic worst-case query complexity as the optimal randomized algorithm, namely O($\sqrt{ n}\,$), where $n$…
The Diophantine Equation Hard Problem (DEHP) is a potential cryptographic problem on the Diophantine equation $U=\sum \limits_{i=1}^n {V_i x_{i}}$. A proper implementation of DEHP would render an attacker to search for private parameters…

The Discrete Logarithm Problem is well-known among cryptographers, for its computational hardness that grants security to some of the most commonly used cryptosystems these days. Still, many of these are limited to a small number of…
This work is based on the proposal of a deterministic randomness extractor of a random Diffie-Hellman element defined over two prime order multiplicative subgroups of a finite fields $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$, $G_1$ and $G_2$. We show that the…
The hidden subgroup problem (HSP) plays an important role in quantum computation, because many quantum algorithms that are exponentially faster than classical algorithms can be casted in the HSP structure. In this paper, we present a new…
