Test Sudy Questions, Due Oct 2nd

* Which topics and ideas do you think are the most important out of those we have studied?

I think that the most important ideas and topics are the general ideas for each of the cryptography examples we have looked at. I also think that the Euclidean Algorithm, congruences, and finite fields are important as well. Basically everything, except the little tiny details that only apply to one problem at a time.

* What kinds of questions do you expect to see on the exam?

I expect a few ciphertexts, some computations, and maybe a TINY, LITTLE stuff about DES and AES :)

* What do you need to work on understanding better before the exam?

Understanding AES and DES, and refreshing my memory on the other things, even though I felt like I has a pretty good understanding of them, I could always use more practice. Hopefully we'll go over more of what's on the exam in class :)
