ePrint Report: On implementation of Stickel's key exchange protocol over max-min and max-$T$ semirings

Sulaiman Alhussaini, Serge˘ı Sergeev

Given that the tropical Stickel protocol and its variants are all vulnerable to the generalized Kotov-Ushakov attack, we suggest employing the max-min semiring and, more generally, max-$T$ semiring where the multiplication is based on a $T-$norm, as a framework to implement the Stickel protocol. While the Stickel protocol over max-min semiring or max-$T$ semiring remains susceptible to a form of Kotov-Ushakov attack, …
