Group ring cryptography: Cryptography, key exchange, public key

Abstract: General cryptographic schemes are presented where keys can be one-time or ephemeral. Processes for key exchange are derived. Public key cryptographic schemes based on the new systems are easily established. Authentication and signature schemes are implemented. The schemes are an advance on group ring techniques and are easily implemented but highly secure. They may be integrated with error-correcting coding schemes so that encryption/coding and decryption/decoding may be done simultaneously.
