6.1, due on October 8

1. I am still a little bit confused about Euler's theorem. The idea of RSA makes sense to me, but some of the math is hard for me to follow. Maybe once I am forced to use Euler's theorem on the homework I'll finally start to warm up to it.

2. It's pretty fascinating that Alice can send a message to Bob and not even know the key! It's intuitively unsound, but the process makes perfect sense. It was also interesting to read about the application with banks.
