This struct represents the secrets used in the card masking operation by the encoding scheme of Barnett and Smart [BS03].

— Member of VTMF_CardSecret: mpz_t r

This member is the exponent (randomizer) used in the masking operation. It should be chosen uniformly and randomly from \bf Z_q where q is the order of the finite abelian group G for which the DDH assumption holds.

According to the results of Koshiba and Kurosawa (see Short Exponent Diffie-Hellman Problems, PKC 2004, LNCS 2947) the length of this exponent can be shorten to a more efficient size (e.g. 160 bit), if the corresponding generator of G is adjusted as well. Under the additional DLSE (Discrete Logarithm with Short Exponents) assumption the DDH problem in G seems to be still hard. By such an optimization trick we gain a great performance advantage for almost all modular exponentiations that are computed during the masking operation, if the VTMF primitive was instantiated by the later explained class BarnettSmartVTMF_dlog_GroupQR. Furthermore, the size of the card secret is substantially reduced which results in an improved communication complexity.
