Abstract

The KMOV scheme is a public key cryptosystem based on an RSA modulus n= pq where p and q are large prime numbers with p≡q≡2(mod3). It uses the points of an elliptic curve with equation y2≡x3+b(modn). In this paper, we propose a generalization of the KMOV cryptosystem with a prime power modulus of the form n= prqs and study its resistance to the known attacks.
