Exam 2 Review, November 13

I think the most important thing we have studied in these sections would be about the math that power the encryption. I think this is so for several reason. The first reason is that it lets us work with algorithms we might not understand, but maybe even more importantly in shows us how to think creatively about the problems presented to us.

Like the first test I am expecting to see problems that mainly deal with the items from section 3 that we have learned. I would also expect to have to explain in a general sense how the other algorithms function.

I need to work on remembering all the different ways to solve the factorization and discrete logs. I also need to review ElGamal.

I really want to go over elliptical curve cryptography and quantum cryptography.
