How to remove power in a modular exponent expression?












0












$begingroup$


I am implementing a cryptography scheme which involves verifiying some data through the following process:




Suppose party A wants to verify data held by party B

Party A has: $a^x mod N$
Party B has: $x^{-1}$ i.e. modular inverse of $x$ with respect
to some $p$ such that $xx^{-1} equiv 1 mod p$






To carry out the verification, B has to use $a^x bmod N$ and $x^{-1}$ to attempt creating $abmod N$

If $x^{-1}$ is correctly calculated, then the data held by B is verified.

My question is, how can I, using $a^x bmod N$ and modular inverse $x^{-1}$ attempt to generate $abmod N$

    Given y, it's quick to get y inverse mod p by the euclidean algorithm on p, y. So take x inverse, compute x, then you know the exponent used

    x is a confidential value only to be known by B. As such, A attempts to regenerate a mod N using his version of x, a^x mod N and the corresponding x inverse. If 'x' held by B is valid, he should be able to successfully generate a mod N
