I think that generators are very interesting. I find it very surprising that there in no method to determine the generators of a field without actually testing them. I know it has been proven that one always exists and that there are Phi(p-1) of them but it seems that it shouldn't be that hard to tell which ones they are. But one thing about math is that the seemingly simple can be very complex and visa versa.
Was the three-pass protocol actually put into practice before RSA? Or was it just a stepping stone in PKC that was immediately followed by RSA?
