Problem 10 (Cryptography Reading Assignment)

Download the free open source book Abstract Algebra: Theory and Applications by Thomas W. Judson. See http://abstract.ups.edu/. (For a direct link use http://abstract.ups.edu/download/aata-20160809.pdf .)

  1. Read pages 76-81. This is chapter 7, Introduction to Cryptography. It's OK if you don't understand all the notation.
  2. Come with at least three questions about parts of the reading you would like to understand more about.

It's OK if you don't understand all of the reading. He uses some theorems and notation that we have not yet covered. If you want to know more about how some of the things worked in the reading, please make sure you ask a question.

We won't need someone to write up a solution to this problem, rather we'll discuss your questions in class.
