KEM ⇒ KE
Statement
Migrated verbatim from key-encapsulation-mechanism § Other results:
- KEM implies key exchange: running Encap with the sender’s public key gives an authenticated key exchange — standard
Notes
source: folklore: the claim carried no citation on the page it was
migrated from, and none was invented.
class: unstated: no citing page says which notion of reduction is meant.
Recording a class the wiki does not state would add a claim.
Recorded during migration and not fixed — these are claims about the source text, not changes to it:
- SUSPECT: the sketch says ‘running Encap with the sender’s public key’ - encapsulation is run with the receiver’s public key. Report only; do not fix.
- SUSPECT: a plain KEM yields an unauthenticated (at best one-sided authenticated) key exchange; claiming ‘authenticated key exchange’ overstates it, and the page’s own AKE variation (key-exchange.md line 40) requires mutual authentication. Report only.
- ’- standard’ used in place of a citation.
