The Intriguing
I feel like it's really hard to just read about SHA-1 and understand what's happening until I actually have a message and am either watching it get encrypted with the method or if I'm trying it myself. I am sure we'll try them for homework and am excited. This was a fun reading because we talked about the DSA in class today a little so it made sense.
The Challenging
What is a "Message Digest"? The book refers to the final Xl of SHA-1 as a message digest and I'm not sure what that means. .....And then I kept reading and was even more baffled by page 225. It seems hard to understand the SHA-1, but like I said in the intriguing, I think I will understand more by trying it out.
