i was able to follow this reading fairly well, and i think it has a lot to do with the example with peggy, victor, and the door—i read that first, and it helped me solidify my understanding of the method. i still got a little lost in the mathematics of actually carrying out this method. as with all other methods, i need to actually work through an example, and then i’m sure it will make more sense. i just forget where i am and which calculations i’m doing. doing an example that has real numbers is pretty valuable to me.
i think this method was pretty interesting. it has increased security because even if someone eavesdrops on the conversation, they won’t be able to use any of the information they hear. i think it would help the communicators be at ease because they won’t always be worried about eavesdroppers—they’ll know that regardless of if that happens, their message is still secure. whenever i learn about a new method, i can’t help but think about how complicated it is (for me at least), so it must be pretty secure. then i read the next reading about how there’s another method that is more secure. it’s just cool.
