ElGamal encryption is a public-key cryptosystem based on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, emphasizing security through the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) rather than integer factorization. This system allows for secure key generation and encryption/decryption processes. With a recommended order for the generator ( g ) of at least ( 2^{160} ), ElGamal prevents attacks like the Pohlig-Hellman. Additionally, the algorithm involves using hash functions such as SHA-1 for message integrity and authentication through digital signatures, ensuring robust security in modern cryptographic applications.

ElGamal Encryption:Based on Diffie Hellman Key Exchange Security of Diffie Hellman key exchange not based on integer factoring (like RSA and Rabin)but on the discrete logarithm problem (DLP).
Diffie Hellman Key Exchange Choose order g at least 2^160 to prevent Pohlig Hellman.
