New Asymmetric Cipher Based On Matrix Power Function and Its Implementation in Microprocessors Efficiency Investigation

摘要

The efficiency of realization of a new asymmetric cipher in microprocessors is presented. The cipher is based on the matrix power function and therefore to the contrary of traditional asymmetric ciphers the computation with large numbers is avoided. Since microprocessors are widely used in embedded systems such as smart-cards and have restricted computational resources the development of effectively realizable cryptographic primitives is a very actual problem. The efficiency investigation of proposed cipher showed that it has a significant superiority with respect to the traditional asymmetric ciphers such as El-Gamal and elliptic curves.
