Distributed Key Generation (DKG) protocols are indispensable in the design of any cryptosystem used in communication networks. DKG is needed to generate public/private keys for signatures or more generally for encrypting/decrypting messages. One such DKG (due to Pedersen) has recently been generalized to a provably secure protocol by Gennaro et al. We propose and implement an efficient algorithm to compute the (group generator) parameter g required in the DKG protocol. We also implement the DKG due to Gennaro et al. on a network of computers using secure sockets. We run tests which show the efficiency of our implementation.
