comment ElGamal: Generation of “g” value?
Thanks for the additional information! I had seen the use of 2 in several papers.

comment ElGamal: Generation of “g” value?
I'm not a very mathematically oriented person (nor cryptography), just doing some CS homework. Sorry! Thank you very much for all the help.

P.S. - do you have any sources for this? I'd like to reference something other than stackoverflow :)

Okay that makes sense. I had seen the squaring elsewhere but it didn't provide an explanation, so i was a little wary... Thanks!

comment Problems with implementation of ElGamal using OpenSSL
Based on what i've posted, i think i'm qualified to work for H.I.G.! Ha ha. No, you're completely right. I am implementing this as a school project, for my thesis in fact. I understand that this is a gross over-simplification.

comment Problems with implementation of ElGamal using OpenSSL
If you notice, after each line of code i put in the exact logic that the code is trying to accomplish. As to the second part: I notice that the description on Wikipedia for example does not use modulus. I suspect that this doesn't matter and it's just intended to cut down on really large values, but wanted to check. Alternately if you're not much for code, i'm really just wondering if the implementation suggested by my book is correct, since i've reviewed my code a dozen times and i'm pretty certain my implementation is.

One more question! When you say "defining elements" of the polynomial, do you mean the keys themselves? (I apologize, i'm not very strong in the math department)

comment Shamir Secret Sharing - Threshold decryption implementation
Thank you so much, on all counts, bob! I knew something wasn't adding up with what i had. I really appreciate this! I will read through the original paper and go from there.
