Abstract :
We analyze a key agreement algorithm realization, not using Diffie-Hellman approach, but using matrix powers and conjugation. Introduced in a theoretical frame by Sakalauskas et. al. in 2007, it is here implemented in J2ME on mobile devices (Nokia N70 equipped with Symbian S60 operating system). We study its appli-ability and performances and compare them with Elliptic Curve and standard Diffie-Hellman Bouncy Castle implementation, freely available on the web.
