Failed crypto: Matrices over non-standard arithmetic

Daniel R. L. Brown, Independent (Canada)

Abstract

A failed hypothesis is reported here. The hope was that large matrices over small non-standard arithmetic are likely to have infeasible division, and furthermore be secure for use in Rabi–Sherman associative cryptography.

Note: Changes to contact info and to clarify vagueness of attack on 9-element realm
