The Diffie-Hellman (DH) cryptosystem is a cornerstone of modern cryptographic protocols, particularly in the realm of secure key exchange mechanisms. Its security is intricately tied to the computational hardness of the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP). To understand this relationship, it is essential to delve into both the mathematical foundations of the DLP and the operational
