Some applications of noncommutative groups and semigroups to information security

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>We present evidence why the Burnside groups of exponent 3 could be a good candidate for a platform group for the HKKS semidirect product key exchange protocol. We also explore hashing with matrices over SL<sub>2</sub>(F<sub>p</sub>), and compute bounds on the girth of the Cayley graph of the subgroup of SL<sub>2</sub>(F<sub>p</sub>) for specific generators <em>A</em>, <em>B</em>. We demonstrate that even without optimization, these hashes have comparable performance to hashes in the SHA family.</p>
