Review due Oct 4

• Which topics and ideas do you think are the most important out of those we have studied?
• I think the most important topics were the DES and chapters beyond that, since they seem the most applicable to "real life". It is something I expect to see more of if I get a job that uses cryptography.
• What kinds of questions do you expect to see on the exam?
• I am expecting that we will have to solve basic cyphertexts that can be done by hand. Probably coding and decoding for the different types of systems we learned.
• What do you need to work on understanding better before the exam?
• During the last part of this unit I was super busy with some family issues, so I think that I need to review DES and the last two units we went over before the test. I just struggled trying to do the homework and didn't have time to get help so I think reviewing the last couple chapters and the harder concepts will do me well.
