1. I had difficulty understanding the theorems in 6.2.0. I am not sure how they work out. I am sure we'll go over them in class. I was also really confused by the "more sophisticated method of preprocessing the plaintext". It seemed like they jumped from a plaintext attack to this method, and I didn't see quite the need for the method.
2. I seems like RSA is not so secure afterwards though I am sure it is still quite secure. I am in a stats class right now so the last method was intrigueing. It was using some sample variables, means, and deviations to calculate the processing times of the computer. It's genius. Is it an effective attack? I didn't quite figure out how they actually timed the computer, but the concept is cool.
