Which topics and ideas do you think are the most important out of those we have studied?
Probably discrete logarithms and how to factor big numbers, and hash functions to a lesser extent.
What kinds of questions do you expect to see on the exam?
I figure there will be questions on there asking about jacobian and legendre symbols. Maybe there will be stuff on how to use El Gamal.
What do you need to work on understanding better before the exam?
I understand how the El Gamal system works, but I am not for sure who sends what to whom and how to encrypt m and decrypt c.
Are there topics you are especially interested in studying during the rest of the semester? What are they?
I am really interested in elliptic curves and how they are used in the field of cryptography.
