i was a little confused about the three-pass protocol, especially about why alice and bob would send that box back and forth. it seemed a little excessive. but reading through the mathematical explanation made me realize that it probably increases security for the message. i was also a little confused by the mathematical steps alice and bob needed to do in order to properly send the message. i just got a little lost in the notation.
i had never heard of primitive roots before, and i think it’s so cool that that happens. it is so interesting to see all the different things people have discovered about numbers and how numbers behave. i also think the modular arithmetic is fascinating. it’s amazing to me that primitive roots exist and that someone noticed them. numbers are so cool!
