Not everything you say needs to be heard by everyone else around you, and this goes quite well for text documents and conversations. Using a computer for these activities benefits from various encryption algorithms which can be used to turn plain text into an unreadable form. Needless to say that proper programs like ElGamal Tool need to be used for both encryption and decryption.

To make the application run you need to be sure that your computer is fitted with .NET Framework, even though it comes in the default set of features in modern Windows iterations. On the other hand, ElGamal Tool is portable and can be easily carried around. This is a considerable advantage since you need it to decipher encrypted messages.

All the application has to offer can be found in pretty intuitive interface fitted with different input and output fields. Unlike most applications of its kind, ElGamal Tool relies on different keys to encrypt your file.

First of all, you need to provide a prime, generator, public, and private keys of custom number of bits. Although this can be a pain, there’s the possibility to generate random values for these fields. Be sure to save all of them because decryption is not possible otherwise. Needless to say that you also need to write down the text string you want to encrypt, which can’t be read from a file.

Although it can be quite an efficient method against anyone attempting to crack the cipher, decrypting a message requires quite a lot of effort. On the one hand, you need to provide the four initial keys. On the other hand, three additional keys are generated upon encryption, which also need to be included in decryption.

Bottom line is that ElGamal Tool is pretty sure to keep your text messages safe from prying eyes, at least because of the effort which needs to be invested in decrypting a message. What needs to be a fast process takes quite a lot of time, especially since you have to copy codes one by one, both in and out.
