Elgamal is a public key encryption and signature algorithm. The
|
|
owner of a key publishes the public part of the key:<br>

This part can be used for encrypting data (with <i>egencrypt</i>) to
|
|
be sent to the owner. The owner decrypts (with <i>egdecrypt</i>) using
|
|
his private key:<br>

Keys are generated using <i>eggen</i>. <i>Eggen</i> takes both bit length of
|
|
the modulus and the number of repetitions of the Miller-Rabin
|
|
primality test to run. If the latter is 0, it does the default
|
|
number of rounds. <i>Egprivtopub</i> returns a newly allocated copy of
|
|
the public key corresponding to the private key.

The routines <i>egpuballoc</i>, <i>egpubfree</i>, <i>egprivalloc</i>, and <i>egprivfree</i>
|
|
are provided to manage key storage.
