1. The Three-Pass Protocol was a little complex to me. I understood the nonmathematical example that they give to demonstrate how the Three-Pass Protocol worked, but when we got to the real math, I was barely grasping it. I think it was mostly just the different K1, K2 and K3. Is that a new K each time? How does that give us the real K? I think that maybe it just doesn't make too much sense because we don't have plaintext or ciphertext, just K.
2. Everything but the Three-Pass Protocol is stuff we just went over in my Number Theory class. I actually feel that this book does a better job at explaining it then my Number Theory book or professor does, which is kind of sad. But I like that these sections have been a little similar to each other so that I can understand everything a lot better. It's like taking 2 hours to understand 1 hour of stuff!
