Abstract
The Algebraic Eraser (AE) is a public key protocol for shar- ing information over an insecure channel using commutative and non- commutative groups; a concrete realization is given by Colored Burau Key Agreement Protocol (CBKAP). In this paper, we describe how to choose data in CBKAP to thwart an attack by Kalka–Teicher–Tsaban.
