A public key cryptography using multinacci block matrices (2003.08634v2)

Abstract: In this paper, we have proposed a public key cryptography using recursive block matrices involving generalized Fibonacci numbers over a finite field Fp. For this, we define multinacci block matrices, a type of upper triangular matrix involving multinacci matrices at diagonal places and obtained some of its algebraic properties. Moreover, we have set up a method for key element agreement at end users, which makes the cryptography more efficient. The proposed cryptography comes with a large keyspace and its security relies on the Discrete Logarithm Problem(DLP).
