RT Journal Article T1 Pitfalls in public key cryptosystems based on free partially commutative monoids and groups A1 González Vasco, María Isabel A1 Steinwandt, Rainer AB At INDOCRYPT 2003 Abisha, Thomas, and Subramanian proposed two public key schemes based on word problems in free partially commutative monoids and groups. We show that both proposals are vulnerable to chosen ciphertext attacks, and thus in the present form must be considered as insecure.
