This paper gives a survey on cryptographic primitives based on class groups of imaginary quadratic orders (IQ cryptography, IQC). We present IQC versions of several well known cryptographic primitives, and we explain, why these primitives are secure if one assumes the hardness of the underlying problems. We give advice on the selection of the cryptographic parameters and show the impact of this advice on the eciency of some IQ cryptosystems.
