On generating elements of simple rings

On constant products of elements in skew polynomial rings

Let $R$ be a reversible ring which is $alpha$-compatible for an endomorphism $alpha$ of $R$ and $f(X)=a_0+a_1X+cdots+a_nX^n$ be a nonzero skew polynomial in $R[X;alpha]$. It is proved that if there exists a nonzero skew polynomial $g(X)=b_0+b_1X+cdots+b_mX^m$ in $R[X;alpha]$ such that $g(X)f(X)=c$ is a constant in $R$, then $b_0a_0=c$ and there exist nonzero elements $a$ and $r$ in $R$ such tha...

On dependent elements in rings

out, R will represent an associative ring with center Z(R). As usual the commutator xy−yx will be denoted by [x,y]. We will use basic commutator identities [xy,z] = [x,z]y+x[y,z] and [x,yz]= [x,y]z+y[x,z]. Recall that a ring R is prime if aRb = (0) implies that a = 0 or b = 0, and is semiprime if aRa = (0) implies a = 0. An additive mapping x x∗ on a ring R is called involution in case (xy)∗ = ...

Nilpotent Elements in Skew Polynomial Rings

 Letbe a ring with an endomorphism and an -derivationAntoine studied the structure of the set of nilpotent elements in Armendariz rings and introduced nil-Armendariz rings. In this paper we introduce and investigate the notion of nil--compatible rings. The class of nil--compatible rings are extended through various ring extensions and many classes of nil--compatible rings are constructed. We al...

Public Key Cryptography Based on Simple Modules over Simple Rings

The Diffie Hellman key exchange and the ElGamal oneway trapdoor function are the basic ingredients of public key cryptography. Both these protocols are based on the hardness of the discrete logarithm problem in a finite ring. In this paper we show how the action of a ring on a module gives rise to a generalized Diffie-Hellman and ElGamal protocol. This leads naturally to a cryptographic protoco...
