Cryptographic applications

edit

Yongge Wang claimed to have designed efficient fully homomorphic encryption schemes using octonion algebras.

The paper of Wang is now withdrawn. As there is not clear why this happened, maybe the chapter on crypto applications should be more cautious.Isbromberg (talk) 19:34, 15 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
The section was removed from the article. Use in encryption may be described and documented and returned to the article. — Rgdboer (talk) 00:47, 20 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

2nd Formula may contain typo: q should be Q

edit

2nd formula on page... (q+Qe)(r+Re) = (qr+yR*Q)+(Rq+qr*)e

...should be... (q+Qe)(r+Re) = (qr+yR*Q)+(Rq+Qr*)e

meaning : last q should be Q

Comment on N. Furey and Standard Model

edit

I think this comment is missleading: the algebra devised by Furey is that of complex quaternions (a quaternion with complex components) which is eigth dimensional, of course, but it is not the same as Cayley - Dickson algebra with eight dimensions. Complex quaternions have nilpotents, idempotents [1] and many other zero divisors, while Cayley - Dickson octonions are a division algebra. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crodrigue1 (talkcontribs) 02:06, 30 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
