ELG = ElGamal

There are several different Algorithms available and in terms of
"hardest to crack" the answer is kinda moot.  What I would like to refer
You to is Robert J. Hansen's Un-Official FAQ regarding 'Crypto' but I am
gonna warn You 1st that this Link will not render using Internet
Intolerable [IE] so unless You are using Firefox, Opera or another
Browser the Link I am providing won't help.

I am *not* gonna suggest anything further reading unless/until I hear
back to this Reply.
