Non-commutative cryptography and complexity of group-theoretic problems / Myasnikov, Alexei G.

This book is about relations between three different areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science: combinatorial group theory, cryptography, and complexity theory. It explores how non-commutative (infinite) groups, which are typically studied in combinatorial group theory, can be used in pu...
