Abstract
We first modify ElGamal encryption system in Z _p^* to GLn(Fq). This allows us to change our message m to be n-component column vector which allows us to have some computation advantages and can encrypt the messages in a vector form. We check a validity of our modified system with examples. Then, we proceed to check some security aspects of our scheme. Ultimately, we suggest some directions to keep optimal security of our scheme.
