6.1, due on October 9

• I really can't say that anything in this section of reading was super difficult. If I had never before seen the RSA algorithm, it may be difficult for me to understand, but I've seen it before. Even the PGP wasn't too hard to understand.
  
• I remember the RSA algorithm! We practiced it way back in 190 with much smaller numbers. But the algorithm was introduced to us. It was fun to read about something that was vaguely familiar. It was fun to tie in the principle of the PGP. Although RSA isn't fast enough to encrypt anything very long, it tightens the security to encrypt the full message with some other method, but then encrypt the key using RSA, since RSA is pretty hard to break.
