Tiny Bytes: RSA
tldr RSA works by exploiting the fact we can’t easily factor 2 large prime numbers and group theory to make a trapdoor permutation, aka a function that turns x into y but y can’t easily be turned into x without a secret. However, implementing RSA gets tricky because there’s lots of subtle attacks.MathRSA takes advantage of the group Z^*_{n} (multiplicative group of integers modulo n). This is the non-negative integers less than n that have an inverse modulo n. 1 x 1 mod n = 1. 0 x int = 0 so ...

Hi, Did much more writing on RSA. Will finish soon. Bye, Lucas

Hi,
Something I’ve been thinking about is how can I approach some of the topics that require research. Take quantum computers and encryption for example. To discuss how key generation and signatures break I need to understand what they are and the algorithms that currently enable them. I’ve learned about them before and how they work, but I really need a refresher. Plus, looking at the topics again with fresh eyes and little more base understand will help me understand them more. This is all great and I’ve found a textbook that talks about what I need to understand. However, each chapter will take an hour or two to get through and then I need to write about them. This is a good amount of time.
Writing this now, I can always read a part of the chapter and write notes after. Read for 40 minutes and then spend 20 minutes writing down key points and take aways.
A similar type fear comes from wanting to explore differential privacy. I want to read more about how it works and I also want to try implementing some code. A similar idea can be said about zero knowledge proofs.
I guess I can cross the coding / implementation bridge when I get there. It does seem like a good approach for now would be to implement a reading + notes approach. Maybe, I should stick to a single topic for a bit so I can get through a single topic and not bounce around too much. Spending a week on a topic can help me feel good about learning and not have me context switching too much. Tho, it’s hard to find a single topic.
Night,
Lucas
