Abstract

Through this work we introduce an action of the skew polynomial ring Fq[X;σ,δ]\mathbb{F}_{q}\left[X; \sigma, \delta\right] over Fq\mathbb{F}_{q} based on its polynomial valuation and the concept of left skew product of functions. This lead us to explore the construction of a certain subset T(X)Fq[X;σ,δ]\mathcal{T}(X)\subset\mathbb{F}_{q}\left[X; \sigma, \delta\right] that allow us to control the non-commutativity of this ring, and exploit this fact in order to build a public key exchange protocol that is secure in Canetti and Krawczyk model.
