Some results of development of cryptographic transformations schemes using non-abelian groups

Implementation of a successful attack on classical public key cryptosystems becomes more and more real with the advent of practical results in the implementation of Shor's and Grover's algorithms on quantum computers. Modern results in tackling the problem of building a quantum computer of sufficiently power justify the need to revise the existing approaches and determine the most effective in terms of solving problems of post-quantum cryptography. One of these promising research priorities is the study of the cryptosystems based on non-abelian groups. The problems of conjugacy search, membership search, and others are difficult to solve in the theory of non-abelian groups and are the basis for building provably secure public key cryptosystems. This paper gives an overview of the most frequently discussed algorithms using non-abelian groups: matrix groups braid groups, semi direct products, and algebraic erasers (AE). The analysis of the construction of encryption and decryption schemes, key establishment mechanisms is given. Many non-abelian group-based key establishment protocols are associated with the Diffie – Hellman (DH) protocol. The paper analyzes the properties of non-abelian group public key encryption schemes. Various cryptographic primitives using non-commutative groups as a basis for post-quantum schemes are considered.
