Detailed Description
template<class BASE>
struct DL_PrivateKey_ElGamal< BASE >
ElGamal Private Key adapter.
- Template Parameters
-
BASE PrivateKey derived class
DL_PrivateKey_ElGamal provides an override for GetAlgorithmID() to utilize 1.3.14.7.2.1.1. Prior to DL_PrivateKey_ElGamal, the ElGamal keys [mistakenly] used the OID from DSA due to DL_GroupParmaters_GFP(). If you need to Load an ElGamal key with the wrong OID then see ElGamal on the Crypto++ wiki.
- Since
- Crypto++ 8.3

Retrieves the OID of the algorithm.
- Returns
- OID of the algorithm

◆ Validate()

Check the key for errors.
- Parameters
-
rng RandomNumberGenerator for objects which use randomized testing level level of thoroughness
- Returns
- true if the tests succeed, false otherwise
There are four levels of thoroughness:
- 0 - using this object won't cause a crash or exception
- 1 - this object will probably function, and encrypt, sign, other operations correctly
- 2 - ensure this object will function correctly, and perform reasonable security checks
- 3 - perform reasonable security checks, and do checks that may take a long time
Level 0 does not require a RandomNumberGenerator. A NullRNG() can be used for level 0. Level 1 may not check for weak keys and such. Levels 2 and 3 are recommended.
