A New Post-Quantum Key Agreement Protocol and Derived Cryptosystem Based on Rectangular Matrices
, University of Buenos Aires, University of Buenos AiresAbstract
In this paper, we present an original algorithm to generate session keys and a subsequent generalized ElGamal-type cryptosystem. The scheme presented here has been designed to prevent both linear and brute force attacks using rectangular matrices and to achieve high complexity. Our algorithm includes a new generalized Diffie-Hellmann scheme based on rectangular matrices and polynomial field operations. Two variants are presented, the first with a double exchange between the parties and the second with a single exchange, thus speeding up the generation of session keys.
