What is the discrete logarithm problem ?..

Answer / Gaurav Mathur

The discrete logarithm problem is a mathematical problem of finding y when given x and g, such that g^y = x mod p, where p is a prime number and g is a generator of a multiplicative subgroup of the integers modulo p. The discrete logarithm problem forms the basis for many cryptographic algorithms like the ElGamal encryption system.
