You can also find it as $q$ sometimes. This means that the computations of the protocol happen in modular arithmetic with modulus $p$. The base generator $g$ probably denotes the generator of the group that the computations are happening. With a generator, you can "construct" the group using only $g$ and its powers ($g^2,g^3,...$).

Sep 6, 2024 at 14:06 comment added Alex Them In the title you denote the base generator with $g$ while in the text you denote it as $q$. Could you specify which is the correct one?
