Question 1.
What is the purpose of a public key in the ElGamal encryption scheme?
Show hintHide hint
Think about its role in the communication process.
Question 2.
Define the discrete logarithm problem in simple terms.
Show hintHide hint
Relate it to the security of ElGamal.
3Question 3.
What is the main security premise of the ElGamal encryption scheme?
- It uses symmetric keys
- It relies on the difficulty of the discrete logarithm problem
- It requires both parties to be online
Show hintHide hint
Consider how messages are secured in cryptography.
4Question 4.
True or False: In ElGamal encryption, the public key is used for decryption.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the roles of public and private keys.
Question 5.
Consider a scenario where Alice wants to send a secret message to Bob using ElGamal encryption. Describe the steps she would take to secure her message.
Show hintHide hint
Outline the key generation and encryption processes distinctly.
Question 6.
Evaluate the implications if an efficient algorithm for the discrete logarithm problem were discovered. What preventive measures could be taken in cryptographic systems?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what alternatives exist in cryptographic practices.
