We use Crump-Mode-Jagers processes to show that most of the random instances are easy. Our analysis shows that for any choice of a finitely presented platform group in Wagner-Wagner public key encryption protocol the majority of random keys can be broken by a polynomial time algorithm.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-07-07T12:35:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F10", "03D15", "20F65" ], "keywords": [ "branching processes", "dehn search problems", "polynomial time algorithm", "crump-mode-jagers processes", "random instances" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1407.1685M" } } }
