In this article, a novel public key cryptosystem is introduced by using an abelian subgroup of GL(k, Z n ) where n and k are positive integers. Instead of exponentiation, the conjugation automorphisms are mainly used to define the public and private keys. This allows the calculations to be fast and effective. The security analysis of the cryptosystem is discussed and it is shown that the cryptosystem is highly secure. Moreover, proposed scheme also generalizes the main scheme given in [1].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
