Question 1 of 10

How does ElGamal encryption relate to Diffie-Hellman?

Question 2 of 10

In ElGamal, what does the sender generate fresh for every single message?

Question 3 of 10

An ElGamal ciphertext is the pair (c1, c2). What does c1 represent?

Question 4 of 10

Why does encrypting the same message twice to the same ElGamal public key produce two completely different ciphertexts?

Question 5 of 10

Question 9 of 10

In ElGamal decryption, how does the recipient recover the shared mask s without the sender ever transmitting it?

Question 10 of 10

Why does ElGamal-family encryption show up more often for key transport than for encrypting bulk data directly?
