In 2021, the $p$-adic signature scheme and public-key encryption cryptosystem were introduced. These schemes have good efficiency but are shown to be not secure. The attack succeeds because the extension fields used in these schemes are…
In this paper we will give various examples of exponentially distorted subgroups in linear groups, including some new example of subgroups of $SL_n(\mathbb{Z}[x])$ for $n \ge 3$, and show how they can be used to construct symmetric-key…
We give new arguments in support of \emph{signed quantum key establishment}, where quantum cryptography is used in a public-key infrastructure that provides the required authentication. We also analyze more thoroughly than previous works…
We present a study on the use of Pell hyperbolas in cryptosystems with security based on the discrete logarithm problem. Specifically, after introducing the group's structure over generalized Pell conics (and also giving the explicit…
Average consensus is fundamental for distributed systems since it underpins key functionalities of such systems ranging from distributed information fusion, decision-making, to decentralized control. In order to reach an agreement, existing…
Shamir or Blakley secret sharing schemes are used for the authentication process in the studies before, but still secure group authentication and hand-over process remain as challenges in group authentication approaches. In this study, a…
As quantum computing technology continues to advance, post-quantum cryptographic methods capable of resisting quantum attacks have emerged as a critical area of focus. Given the potential vulnerability of existing homomorphic encryption…
Multi-Key Homomorphic Encryption (MKHE), proposed by Lopez-Alt et al. (STOC 2012), allows for performing arithmetic computations directly on ciphertexts encrypted under distinct keys. Subsequent works by Chen and Dai et al. (CCS 2019) and…
Since communication signals are publicly exposed while they transmit across space, Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are where secured communication is most crucial. Unfortunately, these systems are more open to intrusions that range from passive…
This paper is an attempt to build a new public-key cryptosystem; similar to the McEliece cryptosystem, using permutation error-correcting codes. We study a public-key cryptosystem built using two permutation error-correcting codes. We show…
In this paper we present a new key establishment protocol based on the decomposition problem in non-commutative groups which is: given two elements $w, w_1$ of the platform group $G$ and two subgroups $A, B \subseteq G$ (not necessarily…
The Anshel-Anshel-Goldfeld-Lemieux (abbreviated AAGL) key agreement protocol is proposed to be used on low-cost platforms which constraint the use of computational resources. The core of the protocol is the concept of an Algebraic Eraser…
We construct a new protocol for attribute-based encryption with the use of the modification of the standard secret sharing scheme. In the suggested modification of the secret sharing scheme, only one master key for each user is required…
Homomorphic Encryption (HE) allows secure and privacy-protected computation on encrypted data without the need to decrypt it. Since Shor's algorithm rendered prime factorisation and discrete logarithm-based ciphers insecure with quantum…
Most cryptosystems are defined over finite algebraic structures where arithmetic operations are performed modulo natural numbers. This applies to private key as well as to public key ciphers. No secure cryptosystems defined over the field…
We introduce a new probabilistic public-key cryptosystem which combines the main ingredients of the well-known RSA and Rabin cryptosystems. We investigate the security and performance of our new scheme in comparison to the other two.
By resorting to basic features of topological knot theory we propose a (classical) cryptographic protocol based on the `difficulty' of decomposing complex knots generated as connected sums of prime knots and their mutants. The scheme…

The conjugacy search problem in a group $G$ is the problem of recovering an $x \in G$ from given $g \in G$ and $h=x^{-1}gx$. The alleged computational hardness of this problem in some groups was used in several recently suggested public key…
By combining the one-way coupled chaotic map lattice system with a bit-reverse operation, we construct a new cryptosystem which is extremely sensitive to the system parameters even for low-dimensional systems. The security of this new…
