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,
This will actually be quick.
My friend told me that you could easily design a virus to target specific people. All you need is their genomes. That’s crazy. Definitely should work into world building idea.
It is like a spell you can cast. Take a bit of lock of their hair or drop of their blood and make them fall in love with you. Or die. Or get sick. (curse them).
In this world what are spells and spell casters. They have some deep knowledge that and they use some setup to affect the world.
Some people can research the idea of different spells while some apply them. You can cast protection spells to protect you.
What kinda of spells exist? Some ideas:
Potions
potion that kills or heals someone
Curses
Smell that will kill a certain person
Break a heart monitor
Nifty control spells
Open doors
Turn on lights
Track someone
Magical Creatures
Create bio / mechanical creatures
Control creatures (mind altering substances, tech in brain, control mechanics)
Change appearance
Smart clothes
Instant surgeries
Illusions
How could spells be cast?
Wand
Phone
USB
Object that transmits signal or plugs in
Device in the brain
Artifact that amplifies spell
Computer with super signal
Adds package to bypass security
Create something in a lab
Want this to feel more wizardy and less big metal tubes
Grow underground
Zerg eggs
I lot of ideas stem from being able to plug oneself into or technologies. The Ents have computers in them so someone could talk to them from many miles away.
How will people interact with technological creatures?
What infrastructure is needed to create such a world? Needs to enable cool ideas but also allow for a diversity of cool ideas? Some thing will need to be interoperable and some things will not be able to interact. What events would make things interoperable or not? I can imagine blockchain ideas making things interoperable. We also see the fracturing of the internet taking place with different countries controlling it in different ways and using different apps.
This had to be quick today. Got to think about world building tho and generate some questions.
Best,
Lucas
