Public Key Exchange Using Matrices Over Group Rings

Delaram Kahrobaei, Charalambos Koupparis, and Vladimir Shpilrain

Abstract

We offer a public key exchange protocol in the spirit of Diffie-Hellman, but we use (small) matrices over a group ring of a (small) symmetric group as the platform. This ``nested structure" of the platform makes computation very efficient for legitimate parties. We discuss security of this scheme by addressing the Decision Diffie-Hellman (DDH) and Computational Diffie-Hellman (CDH) problems for our platform.
