in ElGamal, could you hardcode the generator for a public key and not lose security?

From: mark on 2 Mar 2010 20:39 So, the public key can be represented by your generator, some mod p, and your y (where y = the generator^(random exponent) mod p. Obviously, you could not hardcode your y value, as it depends on your random a, but it seems like you could hardcode the generator and the modulus and not really affect the security of it all. Does this seem correct, or is there a reason not to? |
