Abstract

The class of cryptosystems with the public-key in the basis of which there is universal NP-complete problem about a knapsack is considered. This study offers a new model for public-key information protection systems based on universal knapsack problem KU with a spectrum of factors ZCp = {m1, m2, ..., mn}, 1 ≤ mi ≤ p -- 1, p ≥ 2, p ∈ N. The problem of stacking such universal knapsack is offered. Then the algorithm of construction of the generalized universal knapsack cryptosystems with the public-key is given. The examined approach to setting up knapsack-type public-key cryptosystem allows to control in a more secure and flexible way the key space and key inputs. The basic knapsack is normal injective universal knapsack, and the used scheme is the generalized Merkle-Hellman scheme suggested by the author.
