Abstract

In this paper, our main aim is to propose a group ring analogue of the well-known learning with errors problem and discuss its security. Using this novel problem, we construct IND-CPA secure public key encryption scheme and IND-CCA secure key encapsulation mechanism. We also discuss a toy example relevant to our encryption scheme.
