One aspect of the present invention establishes a session key by a receiving unit R transmitting a plurality of quantities for storage in a public repository. A sending unit S: 1. retrieves the plurality of quantities; and 2. computes and transmits to the unit R a plurality of sender's quantities. The unit R then: 1. computes and transmits to the unit S at least one receiver's quantity; and 2. computes the session key. The unit S, using the receiver's quantity, computes the session key. Another aspect provides a digital signature. Before transmitting a signed message, the unit S stores a plurality of quantities in the public repository. A unit R, that receives the message and the digital signature, verifies their authenticity by: 1. retrieving the quantities from the repository; 2. using the digital signature and the quantities, evaluates expressions in at least two (2) different relationships; and 3. verifies the digital signature upon finding equality between evaluation results.
