In the Elgamal encryption scheme, the calculation of ephemeral or masking keys plays a important role in ensuring the security of the encryption process. It is essential to understand whether a collision is possible, i.e., whether two different messages can have the same ephemeral or masking key. To answer this question, we need to consider
