I invite the readers of this newsgroup to analyze this public key encrytion algorithm, which I believe to be a novel design. 

20 Euros is offered for any interesting cryptanalytic results on this toy algorithm (good or bad)! 

Have fun..

A Public Key Encryption Algorithm
=================================

Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <mjos@jyu.fi>


Abstract

    We present a randomized public key encryption algorithm that is based
    on the difficulty of finding the order of a point in (Z/pZ)* when the
    factorization of p - 1 is unknown and hard.
