In this repository, one can find a version of the Diffie-Hellman protocol using a non-commutative domain. A publication about this protocol is being written up and will appear soon.
In order to compile and run the protocol as stated in the paper "A Diffie-Hellman-like Key Exchange Protocol Based on Multivariate Ore Polynomials" by Reinhold Burger and Albert Heinle (http://arxiv.org/abs/1407.1270), simply use the command
make
After successful compilation, there will be two new executables in
the folder: impl and tests. You can run tests in order to see if
your compiled version of the code executes the tests correctly. If
this is the case, you know that your version (or your alteration of
the code) passes selected tests. By running impl, a simulation of
the protocol between two parties A and B is run.
You can use the ore_algebra library we created for your own
projects. Simply call
make ore_algebra.o
to create a C-library, and link it to your project. The header file
ore_algebra.h is included in the source files.
We are looking forward to feedback from users.
