ePrint Report: Tropical cryptography III: digital signatures

Jiale Chen, Dima Grigoriev, Vladimir Shpilrain

We use tropical algebras as platforms for a very efficient digital signature protocol. Security relies on computational hardness of factoring one-variable tropical polynomials; this problem is known to be NP-hard.
