Cryptography based on Semigroup Actions ∗ Gérard Maze

A generalization of the original Diffie-Hellman key exchange in (Z/pZ) found a new depth when Miller [27] and Koblitz [16] suggested that such a protocol could be used with the group over an elliptic curve. In this paper, we propose a further vast generalization where abelian semigroups act on finite sets. We define a Diffie-Hellman key exchange in this setting and we illustrate how to build in...
