How to convert plaintext to element of cyclic group in Cramer-Shoup cryptosystem [migrated]

I am trying to implement a cramer-shoup cryptosystem but I don’t understand how to work with the plaintext I want to encrypt.
From what I understand, the plaintext needs to be converted to an element of the cyclic group G, which was genera… Continue reading How to convert plaintext to element of cyclic group in Cramer-Shoup cryptosystem [migrated]

Issues generating keys/cyclic group for Cramer-Shoup Cryptosystem with OpenSSL [migrated]

I’m trying to implement a Cramer Shoup cryptography system in C but I’ve run into problems with generating the keys.
From what I have found on the wiki and in other papers, to generate keys for Cramer Shoup you must generate a cyclic group… Continue reading Issues generating keys/cyclic group for Cramer-Shoup Cryptosystem with OpenSSL [migrated]
