A discrete-time discrete-value pseudo-chaotic encoder/decoder system is presented. The pseudo-chaotic module is a 3D discrete version of the well-known Lorenz dynamical system. Scaling and biasing transformations as well as natural number…
Quantum public-key encryption (PKE), where public-keys and/or ciphertexts can be quantum states, is an important primitive in quantum cryptography. Unlike classical PKE (e.g., RSA or ECC), quantum PKE can leverage quantum-secure…

The ability to hide information from unauthorized individuals has been a prevalent issue over the years. Countless algorithms such as DES, AES and SHA have been developed. These algorithms depend on varying key length and key management…
Confidentiality was and will always remain a critical need in the exchanges either between persons or the official parties. Recently, cryptology has made a jump, from classical form to the quantum one, we talk about quantum cryptography.…
Recently an image encryption scheme based on a chaotic Tent map has been proposed by Li et al. This comment shows that this scheme is broken and no secure application can be found for it.
Key Encapsulation Mechanisms (KEMs) are a set of cryptographic techniques that are designed to provide symmetric encryption key using asymmetric mechanism (public key). In the current study, we concentrate on design and analysis of key…
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…
Most modern cryptographic systems, such as RSA and the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange, rely on "trapdoor" mathematical functions that are presumed to be computationally difficult with existing tools. However, quantum computers will be able to…
Chaotic maps are very important for establishing chaos-based image encryption systems. This paper introduces a coupling chaotic system based on a certain unit transform, which can combine any two 1D chaotic maps to generate a new one with…
A recently proposed group key distribution scheme known as UMKESS, based on secret sharing, is shown to be insecure. Not only is it insecure, but it does not always work, and the rationale for its design is unsound. UMKESS is the latest in…
Ensuring security is something that is not easily done as many of the demands of network security conflict with the demands of mobile networks, majorly because of the nature of the mobile devices (e.g. low power consumption, low processing…
We propose a new cryptosystem based on polycyclic groups. The cryptosystem is based on the fact that the word problem can be solved effectively in polycyclic groups, while the known solutions to the conjugacy problem are far less efficient.
Encryption schemes attempt to provide a means for entities to communicate confidentially over a public channel. Such schemes have been studied for centuries, and their use has become widespread. However, developments in the area of quantum…
One-way functions are widely used for encrypting the secret in public key cryptography, although they are regarded as plausibly one-way but have not been proven so. Here we discuss the public key cryptosystem based on the system of higher…
We construct quantum public-key encryption from one-way functions. In our construction, public keys are quantum, but ciphertexts are classical. Quantum public-key encryption from one-way functions (or weaker primitives such as pseudorandom…
