Now, if they said "use the smallest value that generates the group for $g$", then you could find that, and then use that. However, remember that any value of $g$ will work within the protocol (although some choices, such as $g=1$, do have some security issues, of course, in this toy example, there aren't any secure choices). Also, in practice, we generally don't use values of $g$ which generate the entire group, and so you are told to use such a value, that's something contrary to common practice. | |
