ElGamalKeyPairGenerator (Bouncy Castle Library 1.68 API Specification)

java.lang.Object
- org.bouncycastle.crypto.generators.ElGamalKeyPairGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

AsymmetricCipherKeyPairGenerator
```
public class ElGamalKeyPairGenerator
extends java.lang.Object
implements AsymmetricCipherKeyPairGenerator
```
a ElGamal key pair generator.
This generates keys consistent for use with ElGamal as described in page 164 of "Handbook of Applied Cryptography".
