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, Just chilling tonight. Aiming to finish up chapter tomorrow. Night, Lucas
Tiny Bytes: Quickie
Hi, Did much more writing on RSA. Will finish soon. Bye, Lucas

Yo,
Tonight, I got to writing too late to go in-depth so I’m going to use this post to help plan out my writing.

Really good post summarizing everything

I think I want to go off of Bas Westerbaan’s excellent post and learn about any questions I have.
The first question I have is about why is symmetric encryption post-quantum secure (you can see links above).
I also am curious about the competition itself.
It seems like I’m going to have to do A LOT of reading to understand this, which makes it hard to practice writing and explaining in an hour. I will need to play around with my cadence.
In my head, I know I’ll need to find extra time to focus and read up. I can make somedays read plus write notes or summary. Another option is to read sometime during the day or evening, write something quick about another topic, and get to writing the post the next day.
I definitely want to present the final knowledge is a cohesive, elegant format. I want posts that I can show off and allow for easy learning. It doesn’t have to be every post. I think what I should do is next month I should modify my writing format. Keep a more consistent, laid back posts that aren’t everyday and add a once a week high quality post. I can use the next week or two to plan that out and spend extra time researching.
I like this plan. I’ll just have to execute.
Sleep tight,
Lucas
ps
Thinking about it more I’d like to do some world building posts.
In my head quick posts are:
media review
world building (new)
reflections
why topic is important
simple tech
research
