On the Public Key Cryptosystems over Class Semigroups of Imaginary Quadratic Non-maximal Orders

In this paper we will propose the methods for finding the non-invertible ideals corresponding to non-primitive quadratic forms and clarify the structures of class semigroups of imaginary quadratic orders which were given by Zanardo and Zannier [8], and we will give a general algorithm for calculating power of ideals/classes via the Dirichlet composition of quadratic forms which is applicable to cryptography in the class semigroup of imaginary quadratic non-maximal order and revisit the cryptosystem of Kim and Moon [5] using a Zanardo and Zannier [8]’s quantity as their secret key, in order to analyze Jacobson [7]’s revised cryptosystem based on the class semigroup which is an alternative of Kim and Moon [5]’s.
