Abstract

We propose a public-key encryption scheme and key agreement protocols based on a group action on a set. We construct an implementation of these schemes for the action of the class group $\mathcal{CL}(\mathcal{O}_K)$ of an imaginary quadratic field $K$ on the set $\mathcal{ELL}$_p,n$(\mathcal{O}_K)$ of isomorphism classes of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_p$ with $n$ points and the endomorphism ring $\mathcal{O}_K$. This introduces a novel way of using elliptic curves for constructing asymmetric cryptography.
