Abstract :
This paper cryptanalyses a public key cryptosystem that has recently been proposed by C.K. Wu and E. Dawson (see ibid., vol. 145, no. 5, p. 321-5 (1998)). We show that anyone, knowing only the public key and a ciphertext, can retrieve the corresponding message by using some basic linear algebra
