.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
Elgamal is a public key encryption and signature algorithm. The owner of a key publishes
|
|
the public part of the key:
|
|
.EX
|
|
struct EGpub
|
|
{
|
|
mpint *p; // modulus
|
|
mpint *alpha; // generator
|
|
mpint *key; // (encryption key) alpha**secret mod p
|
|
};
|
|
.EE
|
|
This part can be used for encrypting data (with
|
|
.IR egencrypt )
|
|
to be sent to the owner.
|
|
The owner decrypts (with
|
|
.IR egdecrypt )
|
|
using his private key:
|
|
.EX
|
|
struct EGpriv
|
|
{
|
|
EGpub pub;
|
|
mpint *secret; // (decryption key)
|
|
};
|
|
.EE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Keys are generated using
|
|
.IR eggen .
|
|
.I Eggen
|
|
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
|
|
returns a newly allocated copy of the public key
|
|
corresponding to the private key.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The routines
|
|
.IR egpuballoc ,
|
|
.IR egpubfree ,
|
|
.IR egprivalloc ,
|
|
and
|
|
.I egprivfree
|
|
are provided to manage key storage.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Egsign
|
|
signs message
|
|
.I m
|
|
using a private key
|
|
.I k
|
|
yielding a
|
|
.EX
|
|
struct EGsig
|
|
{
|
|
mpint *r, *s;
|
|
};
|
|
.EE
|
|
.I Egverify
|
|
returns 0 if the signature is valid and \-1 if not.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The routines
|
|
.I egsigalloc
|
|
and
|
|
.I egsigfree
|
|
are provided to manage signature storage.
