these four articles about one-way hash functions,
the application of general
one-way functions to public key cryptography, private key
(a.k.a. symmetric key) cryptography, and public key
(a.k.a. asymmetric key) cryptography. Your HW score will be based on the
quality of your reading notes. Approximately half a page to a page is

“History” portion of it. |
