This addresses the security of cryptographic protocols for researchers in cryptography, but it is incremental as it builds on prior work with different groups.
The paper tackled the problem of using Heisenberg groups as a platform for the AAG key-exchange protocol by testing them against the length-based attack, finding that they are vulnerable to this attack.
Garber, Kahrobaei, and Lam studied polycyclic groups generated by number field as platform for the AAG key-exchange protocol. In this paper, we discuss the use of a different kind of polycyclic groups, Heisenberg groups, as a platform group for AAG by submitting Heisenberg groups to one of AAG's major attacks, the length-based attack.
