Completely Regular Semigroups and the Discrete Log Problem

arXiv:1802.00042

Abstract

We consider an application to the discrete log problem using completely regular semigroups which may provide a more secure symmetric cryptosystem than the classic system based on groups. In particular we describe a scheme that would appear to offer protection to a standard trial multiplication attack.
