The decision Diffie-Hellman problem
Authors: D. Boneh
Abstract:
The Decision Diffie-Hellman assumption (DDH) is a gold mine. It
enables one to construct efficient cryptographic systems
with strong security properties. We survey the recent
applications of DDH as well as known results regarding its security.
We describe some open problems in this area.
