The discrete logarithm problem modulo one: cryptanalysing the Ariffin-Abu cryptosystem

نویسنده

  • Simon R. Blackburn
چکیده

The paper provides a cryptanalysis the AAβ-cryptosystem recently proposed by Ariffin and Abu. The scheme is in essence a key agreement scheme whose security is based on a discrete logarithm problem in the infinite (additive) group R/Z (the reals modulo 1). The paper breaks the AAβ-cryptosystem (in a passive adversary model) by showing that this discrete logarithm problem can be efficiently solved in practice.

Cryptanalysing the critical group: efficiently solving Biggs's discrete logarithm problem

Biggs has recently proposed the critical group of a certain class of finite graphs as a platform group for cryptosystems relying on the difficulty of the discrete log problem. The paper uses techniques from the theory of Picard groups on finite graphs to show that the discrete log problem can be efficiently solved in Biggs’s groups. Thus this class of groups is not suitable as a platform for di...

A Factoring and Discrete Logarithm based Cryptosystem

This paper introduces a new public key cryptosystem based on two hard problems : the cube root extraction modulo a composite moduli (which is equivalent to the factorisation of the moduli) and the discrete logarithm problem. These two hard problems are combined during the key generation, encryption and decryption phases. By combining the IFP and the DLP we introduce a secure and efficient publi...

Public Key Cryptosystem based on Number Theoretic Transforms

In this paper a Public Key Cryptosystem is proposed using the number theoretic transforms (NTT) over a ring of integer modulo a composite number. The key agreement is similar to ElGamal public key algorithm. The security of the system is based on solution of multivariate linear congruence equations and discrete logarithm problem. In the proposed cryptosystem only fixed numbers of multiplication...

Discrete logarithms in curves over finite fields

The discrete logarithm problem in finite groups is one of the supposedly difficult problems at the foundation of asymmetric or public key cryptography. The first cryptosystems based on discrete logarithms were implemented in the multiplicative groups of finite fields, in which the discrete logarithm problem turned out to be easier than one would wish, just as the factorisation problem at the he...

The Computational Difficulty of Solving Cryptographic Primitive Problems Related to the Discrete Logarithm Problem

To the authors’ knowledge, there are not many cryptosystems proven to be as difficult as or more difficult than the discrete logarithm problem. Concerning problems related to the discrete logarithm problem, there are problems called the double discrete logarithm problem and the e-th root of the discrete logarithm problem. These two problems are likely to be difficult and they have been utilized...
