Security of some present day public key cryptosystem (PKC) is based on general linear groups as it is a good choice for developing such types of cryptosystems. This study presents various public key encryption schemes based on general linear groups. Different techniques including automorphisms in connection with conjugacy search problem and its generalization are used to develop these schemes. Further, the grouprings are chosen as a platform to enhance the security and efficiency. Numerous aspects related to our new proposal are also elaborated.

Abstract.In this paper we cryptanalyze two protocols: the Grigoriev–Shpilrain authentication protocol and a public key cryptosystem due to Wang, Wang, Cao, Okamoto and Shao. Both of these protocols use the computational hardness of some variations of the conjugacy search problem in a class of noncommutative monoids. We devise a practical heuristic algorithm solving those problems. As a conclusion we claim that these protocols are insecure for the proposed parameter values.

In this chapter, we introduce public-key encryption. We first consider the motivation behind the concept of public-key cryptography and introduce the hard problems on which popular public-key encryption schemes are based. We then discuss two of the best-known public-key cryptosystems, RSA and ElGamal. For each of these public-key cryptosystems, we discuss how to set up key pairs and perform basic encryption and decryption. We also identify the basis for security for each of these cryptosystems. We then compare RSA, ElGamal, and elliptic-curve variants of ElGamal from the perspectives of performance and security. Finally, we look at how public-key encryption is used in practice, focusing on the popular use of hybrid encryption.
