Given that the tropical Stickel protocol and its variants are all vulnerable to the generalized Kotov–Ushakov attack, we suggest employing the max-min semiring and, more generally, max- semiring where the multiplication is based on a -norm, as a framework to implement the Stickel protocol. While the...
