Combinatorial aspects of braids with applications to cryptography
- Mathematics, Computer Science
- 2015
This thesis introduces braids by showcasing a number of equivalent ways of describing what a braid is, and considers algorithms to compute the lcm of a set of braids, which leads to more than one elegant solution to the word problem.

Unprovability results involving braids
- Mathematics
- 2011
We construct long sequences of braids that are descending with respect to the standard order of braids (‘Dehornoy order’), and we deduce that, contrary to all usual algebraic properties of braids,…

Still another approach to the braid ordering
- Mathematics
- 2005
We develop a new approach to the linear ordering of the braid group $B_n$, based on investigating its restriction to the set $\Div(\Delta_n^d)$ of all divisors of $\Delta_n^d$ in the monoid…

ALGORITHMS FOR POSITIVE BRAIDS
- Mathematics
- 1994
We give an easily handled algorithm for the word problem in each of Artin’s braid groups, Bn, based on Garside’s methods, but framed more directly in terms of the set of positive braids in which each…
A new approach to the word and conjugacy problems in the braid groups
- Mathematics
- 1997
Abstract A new presentation of the n -string braid group B n is studied. Using it, a new solution to the word problem in B n is obtained which retains most of the desirable features of the…
Growth Functions and Automatic Groups

It is proved that for a geodesic automatic structure, the growth function for any fixed finite connected graph is a rational function and for a word-hyperbolic group, it is shown that one can choose the denominator of the rational function independently of the finite graph.

New Public-Key Cryptosystem Using Braid Groups
- Computer Science, MathematicsCRYPTO
- 2000
The aim of this article is to show that the braid groups can serve as a good source to enrich cryptography and to propose and implement a new key agreement scheme and public key cryptosystem based on these primitives in thebraid groups.
AN INTRODUCTION TO GARSIDE STRUCTURES
- Mathematics
- 2005
Geometric combinatorialists often study partially ordered sets in which each covering relation has been assigned some sort of label. In this ar- ticle we discuss how each such labeled poset naturally…
