1. Oh boy, 14.2 brings out the big numbers again. I liked the easy conceptual case. Oh well. Since I understand the concept alright I feel it won't be too bad, but a review on Sage might be nice in order to speed things up a bit for me. I feel like I'm not nearly as good at using Sage as others and that slows me down.
2. I really like this section of reading. It's definitely nice to have something like this to protect us, but it's also cool that it's all based on probability instead of strictly rigid proof. Overall, that is something neat about cryptography--it's (so far) mostly based on attackers being incredibly unlikely to crack the code, whereas other forms of math adhere only to proof.
