Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are given a public key that we know is derived from a specific secret key. How might an attacker use this information to pose a threat, and what are the limits of their success?

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of knowing the public key versus the private key.

Question 2

Explain how ElGamal could be attacked if the discrete logarithm problem were solved efficiently. What would be the implications for secure communications?

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between the strength of the problem and its impact on cryptographic processes.
