Abstract

We introduce the addition formula on E(R) where R denotes a ring,complete the theory of elliptic curve cryptography over local ring Z/pnZ,and propose a role-based cryptosystem on E(Z/pnZ).We analyze the structure of ring Z/pnZ.On the basis of the relation between Z/pnZ and Fp,we simplify the complete system of addition laws on E(Z/pnZ),which makes addition much more efficient than before.We present a method to select generators of the cryptographic groups.We prove that the security level of the ECC over local ring Z/pnZ is equal to that over finite field Fp.A role-based cryptosystem is proposed.
