Abstract :
The use of more than one hard problem in the design of cryptographic protocols to enhance security has already been proposed. To this end, a way to embed the discrete logarithm problem as well as the factorisation problem in the signing process in the original El Gamal signature scheme has been described. It is shown that the described modification does not enhance the security of the original scheme
