CEILIDH
Cryptosystem / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the cryptosystem. For traditional Scottish and Irish social gathering, see Cèilidh.
CEILIDH is a public key cryptosystem based on the discrete logarithm problem in algebraic torus. This idea was first introduced by Alice Silverberg and Karl Rubin in 2003; Silverberg named CEILIDH after her cat.[1][2] The main advantage of the system is the reduced size of the keys for the same security over basic schemes.[which?]
