/**
 * The ElGamal key agreement, also known as the half-certified Diffie-Hellman
 * key agreement, is described in the Handbook of Applied Cryptography [HAC] as
 * follows:
 * 
 *    A sends to B a single message allowing one-pass key agreement.
 *    A obtains an authentic copy of B's public key (p, g, yb), where
 *    yb = g**xb.
 *    A chooses a random integer x, 1 <= x <= p-2, and sends B the
 *    message g**x.  A computes the shared secret key K as yb**x.
 *    B computes the same key K on receipt of the previous message as
 *    (g**x)**xb.
 * 
 *
 * RFC-2631 describes an Ephemeral-Static Mode of operations with
 * Diffie-Hellman keypairs as follows:
 *  * "In Ephemeral-Static mode, the recipient has a static (and certified)
 * key pair, but the sender generates a new key pair for each message
 * and sends it using the originatorKey production. If the sender's key
 * is freshly generated for each message, the shared secret ZZ will be
 * similarly different for each message and partyAInfo MAY be omitted,
 * since it serves merely to decouple multiple KEKs generated by the
 * same set of pairwise keys. If, however, the same ephemeral sender key
 * is used for multiple messages (e.g. it is cached as a performance
 * optimization) then a separate partyAInfo MUST be used for each
 * message. All implementations of this standard MUST implement
 * Ephemeral-Static mode."
 *
