12.1 and 12.2, due november 13

i think i was able to follow the explanations fairly well, but i got lost in all the math and explanations and pretty big numbers. it will be very helpful to see an example of this threshold scheme, and as i work through problems that deal with this, i’ll understand it better. that’s usually how these things go.

i think this sharing a message between multiple people idea is so interesting. i hadn’t really ever considered that before, but it makes so much sense. it just makes messages that much more secure and could help with big and important decisions and stuff. as i was reading, i realized that i’ve seen examples of this in movies, but i never really linked it with cryptography.
