The first published solution to key distribution problem is due to Diffie–Hellman, which allows two parties that have never communicated earlier, to jointly establish a shared secret key over an insecure channel. In this paper, we propose a new key exchange protocol in a non-commutative semigroup over group ring whose security relies on the hardness of Factorization with Discrete Logarithm Problem (FDLP). We have also provided its security and complexity analysis. We then propose a ElGamal cryptosystem based on FDLP using the group of invertible matrices over group rings.

We introduce a novel key exchange protocol based on non-commutative matrix multiplication defined in $\mathbb{Z}_p^{n \times n}$. The security of our method does not rely on computational problems as integer factorization or discrete logarithm whose difficulty is conjectured. We claim that the unique eavesdropper's opportunity to get the secret/private key is by means of an exhaustive search which is equivalent to the unsorted database search problem. Furthermore, we show that the secret/private keys become indistinguishable to the eavesdropper. Remarkably, to achieve a 512-bit security level, the keys (public/private) are of the same size when matrix multiplication is done over a reduced 8-bit size modulo. Also, we discuss how to achieve key certification and Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS). Therefore, Lizama's algorithm becomes a promising candidate to establish shared keys and secret communication between (IoT) devices in the quantum era.
