Sec 6.2 due April 21st

What was difficult?

Keeping up with all the math was very difficult for this section. I had to read paragraphs over and over. There was a lot of complex math equations and description going on in this section regarding attacking RSA. I even gave up on some of the subsections and hope to learn the material in class on Monday.


Reflections

In CS 180 we learned about how to determine the efficiency of an algorithm. We even learned how some algorithms are not polynomial efficient and such. Reading this section kind of reminded me about that class as it went over ways of improving factoring algorithms given extra information about p,q or d. However, as mentioned above a lot of it was hard to follow.
