All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, AsymmetricKey, BinaryEncodablePREVIEW, Key, PrivateKey, DHKey, DHPrivateKey, Destroyable, ElGamalKey, ElGamalPrivateKey
public class ElGamalPrivateKeyImplextends Object implements ElGamalPrivateKey, DHPrivateKey
Implementation of ElGamal private keys.

This class provides a concrete implementation of the ElGamalPrivateKey interface, representing the private component of an ElGamal key pair. It stores the secret exponent x and the ElGamal parameters (prime p and generator g), and supports PKCS#8 encoding for standardized key storage and transmission.
