.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.
