these sections were a little rough for me. i think the hardest part was just keeping the modes of operation separate. they keep running together in my mind, and it’s hard to distinguish them. hopefully as i work with them, i’ll be able to tell one apart from the other.
i thought the history of breaking DES was interesting. it’s interesting to see the developments in code-breaking over time. that’s also probably because i can actually understand it because it’s a story, not the explanation of a code. i also liked that the abbreviation for counter mode is CTR. (that’s me being super mormon, but that’s okay)
