Section 6.4.1, due October 19

I think that it is really interesting the methods that are devised to break any cryptological system. It takes a lot of ingenious thinking. It is the same in this case. My hat is off to whoever invented the Quadratic sieve.

Are we just going to be talking about the quadratic sieve? Or will we be talking about number field sieves as well. I get the concept of the quadratic sieve, but there is no way that I would be able to employ it to break a system.
