java.lang.Object | +--net.rim.device.api.crypto.ElGamalDecryptorEngine
In order to decrypt with the ElGamal decryptor engine, two keys are required.
The version of ElGamal that we implemented can be found in "Applied Cryptography", by Bruce Schneier, in section 19.6 ( 1996 ).
The decrypting private key and a second ephemeral key must be recieved along with ciphertext. BOTH are necessary to decrypt the data.
