Novel Protocols in Group-based Cryptography

Authors

  • Serge Horbach Radboud University Nijmegen

Abstract

In this research we propose new protocols in group-based cryptography contributing to the research of finding novel cryptographic systems that are secure against quantum computers. The protocols we introduce either employ different one-way functions or different groups then the currently available protocols in group-based cryptography. Thereby, we avoid the successful attacks that threaten the contemporary existing group-based cryptosystems.
