Section 5.4-5.4.1

Difficult: Nothing, I have seen this material before in Math 485.

Reflective: I think it is interesting that they say cryptography is broken up between classical encryption and public key encryption, while completely ignoring symmetric key encryption. Unlike their definition of classical encryption, the algorithm itself can be known, and the security, just as in public key cryptography, is in the key.
