1. These sections were great. I really liked the public key concept, I think I understood most of it, but maybe I didn't. I like the trapdoor idea, I think it's pretty cool. Now I understood the first example for discrete logarithms that they gave in the book, but then again that was just a very small and easy example, so I'm wondering how hard it's going to be with a very large number... maybe we'll learn that in class.
2.These sections were all really cool and interesting! The RSA challenge was cool, I can't believe that they came up with 524339 small primes! That is a ton! I'm also interested in learning more about the RSA signature scheme, but I guess that I'll have to wait til section 9.1, because there is no way that I could just go an read it by myself :) I wouldn't want to get ahead of the class :) JK, I probably will do that. All in all, I really enjoyed these sections, and I learned a lot!
