Abstract
We discuss the implementation of the analog of the ElGamal (1984) public-key cryptosystem using elliptic curves over finite fields. More specifically, the kind of elliptic curve used is a supersingular curve over GF(2208). Furthermore, it is shown that this cryptosystem is cryptographically secure to the best of current knowledge
