java.lang.Objectnet.rim.device.api.crypto.ElGamalDecryptorEngine
public final class 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.

ElGamalDecryptorEngine object.
localPrivateKey - The private key that the encrypted message with.remoteEphemeralKey - The ephemeral key created by the encryptor engine.
CryptoTokenException - Thrown if an error occurs with a crypto token
or the crypto token is invalid.
CryptoUnsupportedOperationException - Thrown if a call is made to an
unsupported operation.| Method Detail |

decrypt in interface BlockDecryptorEngineciphertext - The byte array containing the ciphertext to decode.ciphertextOffset - The offset, or start position, of the ciphertext
within the array.plaintext - The array to store the plaintext.plaintextOffset - The offset, or start position, of the plaintext

CryptoTokenException - Thrown if an error occurs with a crypto
token or the crypto token is invalid.public String getAlgorithm()
This method will always return the String "ElGamal".
