Section 9.1-9.4, due November 5

The most difficult part of the reading was the algorithm behind the ElGamal signature scheme and exactly how it uses discrete logarithms to generate signatures.

I really enjoyed the article about Zach Harris.  It definitely helped me to understand the importance of digital signatures for emails.  It also helped me to understand that internet security isn't perfect, and that people are always looking for ways around it, and sometimes a way around can be pretty simple and can be easily overlooked.
