    0 references
    In order to support the realization of some quadratic field cryptosystems, the authors consider the integer solutions \(x,y\) of the Diophantine equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE Ax^2+\mu_1B=K((Ay^2+\mu_2B)/K)^n NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(A,K\) are natural numbers, \(B=1,2,4\); \(\mu_i=-1,1\); \(n>1\) is odd and we assume that the \(n\)-th power of the prime divisors of \(K\) do not divide \(K\). Moreover some divisibility properties of the class numbers of certain imaginary quadratic number fields is proved.
