Mersenne and Fermat numbers, Generating function, Binet formula, key exchange and authentication protocolsAbstract
In this paper, we study a generalization of Mersenne numbers and we introduce an extension of Fermat numbers, we find their generating functions binet formulas, related matrix representation and many other properties. Also, we provide some applications in cryptography
