Security Analysis of MOR using GL(2, R) ×θ ZZ n

Christian Tobias

2004

Abstract

This paper cryptanalyses the MOR cryptosystem [6] when the group GL(2, R) ×θ ZZ n proposed in [7] is used. We show generic attacks on the system that work with every ring R. For a concrete choice of R even stronger attacks may be possible.
