  - ### Method Detail

    - #### init

          public void init(CipherParameters param)

      initialise the EC Elgamal engine.
      Specified by:
        `init` in interface `ECPairTransform`
      Parameters:
        `param` - the necessary EC key parameters.

    - #### transform

          public ECPair transform(ECPair cipherText)

      Transform an existing cipher text pair using the ElGamal algorithm. Note: the input cipherText will need to be preserved in order to complete the transformation to the new public key.
      Specified by:
        `transform` in interface `ECPairTransform`
      Parameters:
        `cipherText` - the EC point to process.
      Returns:
        returns a new ECPair representing the result of the process.

    - #### createBasePointMultiplier

          protected ECMultiplier createBasePointMultiplier()
