Source of encryption scheme used in blockchain based IoT
I've found the following encryption scheme
UserA: $$sk_A, pk_A = sk_A \cdot G$$
UserB: $$sk_B, pk_B = sk_B \cdot G$$
Enc: UserA
$$u \in \mathbb{Z}_q^* \\
Y = u \cdot pk_B \\
S = H(U) \oplus m \\
C = (...

Malleability of ElGamal and Hashed ElGamal
Question: Suppose A encrypts a number $x$ which indicates her bid on a contract, using ElGamal encryption. Say that the encryption of $x$ produces a ciphertext $c$. Explain how E can modify $c$ to ...
