Great Danger

Asymmetric key cryptosystem is a vital element in securing our communication in cyberspace. It encrypts our transmitting data and authenticates the originality and integrity of the data. The Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) cryptosystem is highly regarded as one of the most deployed public-key cryptosystem today. Previous attacks on the cryptosystem focus on the effort to weaken the hardness of integer factorization problem, embedded in the RSA modulus, N = p q . The adversary used several assumptions to enable the attacks. For examples, p and q which satisfy Pollard’s weak primes structures and partial knowledge of least significant bits (LSBs) of p and q can cause N to be factored in polynomial time, thus breaking the security of RSA. In this paper, we heavily utilized both assumptions. First, we assume that p and q satisfy specific structures where p = a m + r p and q = b m + r q for a , b are positive integers and m is a positive even number. Second, we assume that the bits of r p and r q are the known LSBs of p and q respectively. In our analysis, we have successfully factored N in polynomial time using both assumptions. We also counted the number of primes that are affected by our attack. Based on the result, it may poses a great danger to the users of RSA if no countermeasure being developed to resist our attack.

Nonabelian Groups

To resist known quantum algorithm attacks, several nonabelian algebraic structures mounted upon the stage of modern cryptography. Recently, Baba et al. proposed an important analogy from the integer factorization problem to the factorization problem over nonabelian groups. In this paper, we propose several conjugated problems related to the factorization problem over nonabelian groups and then present three constructions of cryptographic primitives based on these newly introduced conjugacy systems: encryption, signature, and signcryption. Sample implementations of our proposal as well as the related performance analysis are also presented.

Integer Factorization Problem

This paper makes an investigation on geometric relationships among nodes of the valuated binary trees, including parallelism, connection and penetration. By defining central lines and distance from a node to a line, some intrinsic connections are discovered to connect nodes between different subtrees. It is proved that a node out of a subtree can penetrate into the subtree along a parallel connection. If the connection starts downward from a node that is a multiple of the subtree’s root, then all the nodes on the connection are multiples of the root. Accordingly composite odd integers on such connections can be easily factorized. The paper proves the new results with detail mathematical reasoning and demonstrates several numerical experiments made with Maple software to factorize rapidly a kind of big odd integers that are of the length from 59 to 99 decimal digits. It is once again shown that the valuated binary tree might be a key to unlock the lock of the integer factorization problem.

AbstractIt is known that polarizationless P systems with active membranes can solve $$\mathrm {PSPACE}$$ PSPACE -complete problems in polynomial time without using in-communication rules but using the classical (also called strong) non-elementary membrane division rules. In this paper, we show that this holds also when in-communication rules are allowed but strong non-elementary division rules are replaced with weak non-elementary division rules, a type of rule which is an extension of elementary membrane divisions to non-elementary membranes. Since it is known that without in-communication rules, these P systems can solve in polynomial time only problems in $$\mathrm {P}^{\text {NP}}$$ P NP , our result proves that these rules serve as a borderline between $$\mathrm {P}^{\text {NP}}$$ P NP and $$\mathrm {PSPACE}$$ PSPACE concerning the computational power of these P systems.

We present a new computational problem in this paper, namely the order of a group element problem which is based on the factorization problem, and we analyze its applications in cryptography. We present a new one-way function and from this function we propose a homomorphic probabilistic scheme for encryption. Our scheme, provably secure under the new computational problem in the standard model.
