CONSTRUCTION 12.16
Let 9 be as in the text. Define a public-key encryption scheme as follows:
Gen:
on input 1" run G(1") to obtain (G,q,g). Then choose a uniform a Zq and compute h := g*. The public key is (G, q, g, h) and the private key is (G, q, g, x). The message space is G.
Enc: on input a public key ph =(G, g, g, h) and a message m G, choose a uniform y Zq and output the ciphertext
ghm.
Dec: on input a private key sk =(G, q,g,x) and a ciphertext
(C1, C2), output
m:= c2/C].
The El Gamal encryption scheme.
To see that decryption succeeds, let (C1, C2)=(g", hy.m) with h= g*. Then

m =
hY. M

Question
Consider the El Gamal Public Key Encryption scheme construction 12.16 in slide 13 of module 12.3. Suppose the same message m is encrypted twice using this scheme. What is the probability that the ciphertext will be the same in both cases? Explain.
[Let y1 and y2 denote the choice of y in the two encryptions of m. Observe that since g is a generator gy1 can equal gy2 if and only if y1=y]
Plz do not use chat gpt
give me a little explanation of 10-12 line not very long
