Cryptanalysis of the cryptosystems based on the generalized hidden discrete logarithm problem.

In this paper, we will solve an important form of hidden discrete logarithm problem (HDLP) and a generalized form of HDLP (GHDLP) over non-commutative associative algebras (FNAAs). We will reduce them to discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in a finite field through analyzing the eigenvalues of the representation matrix. Through the analysis of computational complexity, we will show that HDLP and GHDLP are not good improvements of DLP. With all the instruments in hand, we will break a series of corresponding schemes. Thus, we can conclude that all ideas of constructing cryptographic schemes based on the two solved problems are of no practical significance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
