Abstract

There are introduced three methods for defining finite 6-dimensional associative algebras over the ground finite field GF(p), every one of which contains a set of the global right-sided units. Formulas describing the set of the global units are presented for every of the considered three algebras that contain \(p^s\) global units, where \(s=2,3,4.\) The algebras are used as carriers of the hidden discrete logarithm problem that is used as the base cryptographic primitive of the post-quantum digital signature algorithms.
