A Public Key Cryptosystem and a Signature Scheme Based on Discrete Logarithms. ElGamal, T. In Advances in Cryptology: Proceedings of CRYPTO 84, pages 10--18, August, 1984. Springer Berlin Heidelberg. 07846 DOI: 10.1007/3-540-39568-7_2
A Public Key Cryptosystem and a Signature Scheme Based on Discrete Logarithms [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
A new signature scheme is proposed together with an implementation of the Diffie - Hellman key distribution scheme that achieves a public key cryptosystem. The security of both systems relies on the difficulty of computing discrete logarithms over finite fields.
