Abstract
The paper deals with information authentication for real time automatic control systems. Our approach differs from known ones in using finite groups of vectors over a finite field. We show that these groups of vectors are multidimensionally cyclic. This allows developing secure digital signature algorithms based on groups with the maximal prime factor of length 160/m bits where m is the vectors’ dimension. We list formulas describing this multidimensional cyclicity of vector groups.
