func GetGermainPrime(bits int) (p *big.Int)

GetGermainPrime returns a prime number p for which 2*p + 1 is also prime. Note that conversely 2*p + 1 is called a safe prime.

func GetSafePrime(bits int) (p *big.Int, err error)

GetSafePrime returns a safe prime p (p = 2*p1 + 2 where p1 is prime too).

type ElGamal struct {
	Y *big.Int // public key
	G *big.Int // generator
	P *big.Int // modulus
	Q *big.Int // (P - 1) / 2, i.e. order of G
}

ElGamal holds paramenters for ElGamal scheme.

func NewElGamal(modulusLength int) (*ElGamal, error)

NewElGamal creates parameters for ElGamal scheme. Implementation is adapted from https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/blob/master/lib/Crypto/PublicKey/ElGamal.py.
