Question 2:
Why do you think Cryptography has been prominent in the history of mankind? What is it about encryption that has led to war, death, and intrigue over and over throughout history?
Question 3: Why are protocols a basic element within the science of encryption, and what is the most important and consistent nature of protocols within the discipline?
Question 4: What is it about key establishment that makes it so fundamentally important? Is it the method itself, the management of the key, the flexibility of the process, the protocols? Just how and why is key establishment a vital element of modern encryption?
Question 5: Some argue that RNG can be truly random while others state there is no such a thing in the science.
Question To Answer: Is Randomness a reality or a pipe dream?
BTW: Funny story in that when Apple introduced the IPod, they had the random feature programmed to be random as you would expect. But, users hated it because they would get the same song replayed immediately after it was played (real randomness would do this, right?). So, Apple had to go into the software and reprogram it so it was no longer random but actually pseudo-random to ensure that once a song was played it was not played again until the rest of the songs were played in a random method.
Question 6: The Diffie-Hellman exchange is important to the advancement of digital modern encryption. What is it about this concept that changed everything for the science of encryption from the moment it was proven to work?
Question 7: What is it about Hash Functions that make them so critical to modern encryption methods?”
Question 8: Pertaining to the topic relating to the government access to private encryption technologies and the discussion between Edward Snowden and Fareed Zakaria, what is your perspective of the two principals’ presentations, and what should the United States do going forward?
