Generating ElGamal Signatures Without Knowing the Secret Key
Daniel Bleichenbacher
Advances in Cryptology — EUROCRYPT '96, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag, vol. 1070, pp. 10–18, May 1996.
We present a new method to forge ElGamal signatures if the public parameters of the system are not chosen properly. Since the secret key is hereby not found this attack shows that forging ElGamal signatures is sometimes easier than the underlying discrete logarithm problem.
