1.1-1.2 & 3.1
  • The most difficult part of the reading was trying to understand how the Euclidean Algorithm works. The proof was pretty hard to understand.
  • The most interesting part was learning how public keys work. From what I understood, Alice sends the information of encryption to everyone but she is the only one who knows how to decrypt it, then Bob encrypts a message and sends it back. The only part I don't understand is why Eve couldn't send a message to Alice masquerading as Bob.
