Title
Public-Key Cryptosystems Using the Modular Group
Abstract
We propose a public-key cryptosystem using the amalgamated free product structure of the modular group and the action on the upper half plane. The main purpose of this paper is to examine possibilities of building public-key cryptosystems using technology from combinatorial group theory. As a possible example of such a system, we offer a new public-key cryptosystem not depending on specific number theoretical problems but on difficulties of solving several problems in algebra.
