Abstract

We propose new public-key encryption schemes based on the conjugacy search problems (CSP) over noncommutative monoids. Under the newly developed cryptographic assumptions, our basic construction is proven IND-CPA secure in the standard model. Then, we describe two extensions: The first is proven IND-CCA secure in the random oracle model, while the second achieves the IND-CCA security in the standard model. Finally, our proposal is instantiated by using the monoid of matrices over truncated multivariable polynomials over rings. Meanwhile, we also give a discussion on the possibility to instantiate our schemes with braid groups.
