Abstract(in English) The section finding problem (SFP for short) is known to be a mathematically intractable problem. We proposed a public key cryptosystem [1] and a signature scheme (ASS-CC, [6]) whose security relies on the hardness of SFP. These schemes randomly choose a section (secret key) and then generate an algebraic surface (public key) containing the prescribed section. The key generation algorithms of [1] and [6] output a surface (public key) whose defining equation, considered as a polynomial in x and y, has a very high-degree constant term in t. Therefore, it may give the impression that the security of our system relies on special surfaces, as well as the key size tends to be big. This paper proposes a technique that transforms a surface to another by preserving the same section and reducing the degree of the constant term drastically. By applying this technique to the output of surfaces in our key generation algorithm, we have another general surface with a low degree constant term and use it as the public key. In this way, we decrease the public key size (by 11%) and weaken the assumption for security. Our technique can also decrease the signature size of [6] by 29%.
