‎in our paper [a‎. ‎b‎. ‎m‎. ‎basheer and j‎. ‎moori‎, ‎on a group of the form $2^{10}{:}(u_{5}(2){:}2)$] we calculated the inertia factors‎, ‎fischer matrices and the ordinary character table of the split‎ ‎extension $ 2^{10}{:}(u_{5}(2){:}2)$ by means of clifford-fischer‎ ‎theory‎. ‎the second inertia factor group of $2^{10}{:}(u_{5}(2){:}2)$‎ ‎is a group of the form $2_{-}^{1+6}{:}((3^{1+2}{...

Let p be an odd prime number. We describe the Whitehead group of all extra-special and almost extra-special p-groups. For this we compute, for any finite p-group P , the subgroup Cl1(ZP ) of SK1(ZP ), in terms of a genetic basis of P . We also introduce a deflation map Cl1(ZP ) → Cl1 ( Z(P/N) ) , for a normal subgroup N of P , and show that it is always surjective. Along the way, we give a new ...

This paper studies the MOR cryptosystem, using the auto-morphism group of the extra-special p-group of exponent p, for an odd prime p. Similar results can be obtained for extra-special p-groups of exponent p 2 and for the even prime.
