  Taher Elgamal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1985, Elgamal published a paper titled A Public key Cryptosystem and A Signature Scheme based on discrete Logarithms in which he proposed the design of the ElGamal discrete log cryptosystem and of the ElGamal signature scheme.
Most recently, Elgamal serves as Chairman and CEO of Ektasis, a Silicon Valley startup he founded in late 2004 with co-founders Phil Straw and Mark Chen.
Elgamal's surname has been spelled as two words (the El part is equivalent to "the" in English), and as a single word with an intra-capital.

 ElGamal discrete log cryptosystem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ElGamal algorithm is an asymmetric key encryption algorithm for public key cryptography which is based on discrete logarithms.
ElGamal is a simple example of a semantically secure asymmetric key encryption algorithm.
Breaking ElGamal is, in most cases, at least as hard as solving the discrete logarithm problem.

As with all asymmetric key encryption algorithms, ElGamal consists of three components: the key generator, the encryption algorithm, and the decryption algorithm.
ElGamal's security rests, in part, on the difficulty of solving the discrete logarithm problem in G.
Note that ElGamal is malleable in an extreme way: for example, given a encryption (c_1, c_2) of some (possibly unknown) message m, one can easily construct an encryption (c_1, 2 \cdot c_2) of the message 2m.
