Two RSA-based Cryptosystems

TL;DR
The paper addresses integrating primitive $m^{th}$ roots of unity within rings with zero divisors to create RSA-based cryptosystems. It builds a mathematical foundation around halidon rings and a ring-DFT framework, then develops two cryptosystems: RSA-DFT, which uses a hidden $oldsymbol{ extomega}$ and DFT/inverse-DFT for encryption/decryption, and RSA-HGR, which encodes messages via Halidon Group Rings. The main contributions are the formal characterization of halidon rings, the ring-DFT construct, and concrete RSA-based schemes with worked examples. The work suggests a pathway to alternative cryptosystems whose security hinges on ring-theoretic root-of-unity computations and the hardness of factoring, with potential future extensions via cyclotomic polynomials.
Abstract
The cryptosystem RSA is a very popular cryptosystem in the study of Cryptography. In this article, we explore how the idea of a primitive mth root of unity in a ring can be integrated into the Discrete Fourier Transform, leading to the development of new cryptosystems known as RSA-DFT and RSA-HGR.
