Group-based cryptography is a branch of cryptography that utilizes the mathematical properties of groups, specifically algebraic structures known as groups, to develop cryptographic protocols and systems. In this context, a group is defined as a set combined with an operation that satisfies certain properties, namely closure, associativity, the existence of an identity element, and the existence of inverse elements.
