Sending a Message
Suppose Alice wants to send a messagemto Bob and suppose
thatmis of binary lengthn.
Bob'sIDis
[email protected], so Alice does the following:
1
She computesg~e(H1(bob@computer:com);P1), aqth
root of unity
2
She chooses a random integerr6= 0 (modq) and
computes
tmH2(g
r
)
whereis the XOR cipher.
3
She sends Bob the ciphertext
c(rP0;t);
whererP0onEandtis a binary string of lengthn
