The Rabin cryptosystem over number fields

Year: 2025
Type: preprint
Abstract: We extend Rabin's cryptosystem to general number fields. We show that decryption of a random plaintext is as hard as the integer factorisation problem, provided the modulus in our scheme has been chosen carefully. We investigate the performance of our new cryptosystem in comparison with the classical Rabin scheme and a more recent version over the Gaussian integers.
