The decision Diffie-Hellman problem

Authors: D. Boneh

Abstract:
The Decision Diffie-Hellman assumption (DDH) is a gold mine. It enables one to construct efficient cryptographic systems with strong security properties. We survey the recent applications of DDH as well as known results regarding its security. We describe some open problems in this area.
