Primitive elements play important roles in the Diffie-Hellman protocol for establishment of secret communication keys, in the design of the ElGamal cryptographic system and as generators of pseudo-random numbers. In g...
This paper provides several generalizations of Gauss theorem that counts points on special elliptic curves. It is demonstrated how to implement these generalizations for computation of complex primes, which are applic...
A hybrid cryptographic system providing digital authentication is described and analyzed in this paper. The proposed cryptosystem incorporates three features: complexity of the discrete logarithm problem, complexity o...
