Question

 Prove that each of the following maps is a group homomorphism. The discrete logarithm map logg : F∗p → Z/(p−1)Z, where g is a primitive root modulo p.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Part1:

To prove that the discrete logarithm map is a group homomorphism, we need to show that it preserves the group operation. Let's break down the proof step by step.

Definitions:
1. : The multiplicative group of integers modulo , where is a prime number.
2. : A primitive root modulo .
3. : The additive group of integers modulo .

Group Homomorphism:
A function between two groups and is called a group homomorphism if, for all elements in , , where is the group operation in .

Now, let's prove that is a group homomorphism:
