Abstract—This paper introduced a detail ElGamal digital signature scheme, and mainly analyzed the existing problems of the ElGamal digital signature scheme. Then improved the scheme according to the existing problems of ElGamal digital signature scheme, and proposed an implicit ElGamal type digital signature scheme with the function of message recovery. As for the problem that message recovery not being allowed by ElGamal signature scheme, this article approached a method to recover message. This method will make ElGamal signature scheme have the function of message recovery. On this basis, against that part of signature was used on most attacks for ElGamal signature scheme, a new implicit signature scheme with the function of message recovery was formed, after having tried to hid part of signature message and refining forthcoming implicit type signature scheme. The safety of the refined scheme was anlyzed, and its results indicated that the new scheme was better than the old one.
