Eight friends decided to encrypt all their electronic communication. For encryption they
use the Elliptic Curve version of the system. For digital signatures they use the Elliptic
Curve version of the signature schema. Here are their public keys, listed by keyowner.
The following notation is used to denote the encryption and signature keys.
elliptic curve encryption keys:
GEG: The elliptic curve group.
gEG: a point in the group.
bEG ECTimesgEGprivatekey,GEG
tEG: tolerance parameter.
elliptic curve digital signature keys:
GEGDS: The elliptic curve group.
gEGDS: a point in the group.
