Summary on Grant Application Form
The proposal aims to bring together various strands of recent cryptographic research, mainly focusing on systems which have the similarity of using, in one way or another, so celled finite fields of smell extension degree . This not only includes variants of traditional public key schemes, such as XTR or Ceilidh, but also the new identity based cryptographic schemes.The proposal aims to delve deeper into the implementation techniques of these schemes, by trying to take e unifying approach. It also aims to investigate the security of such schemes by conducting various experiments.
