Study Notes

Division Algorithm

The quotient of dividing 101 by 11 is 9.
The remainder of dividing 101 by 11 is 3.
Divisor refers to the integer that divides another integer in the division algorithm, in the equation a = dq + r, d is the divisor and a is being divided.

Congruence Relation

The notation to express that two integers are congruent modulo m is a ≡ b (mod m).
24 is not congruent to 14 modulo 6, as (24-14)/6 is not an integer.
A congruence relation, denoted by a ≡ b (mod m), means that (a-b) is divisible by m.

Modular Arithmetic

In the equation a = dq + r, a refers to the integer being divided.
The Commutative Property states that if a and b belong to Zm, then a +m b = b +m a.
The additive inverse of a in Zm is not always zero.
The identity element for addition in Zm is 0, where a +m 0 = a.
In Zm, if a belongs to Zm, then a +m 0 = a.

Hashing Functions

Collision in hashing functions occurs when two distinct inputs map to the same output.
A common hashing function mentioned is the Division Method, which uses the remainder when dividing the key by a fixed number.
A hashing function that is onto means all memory locations are possible outputs.

Check Digits

The check digit for the UPC that starts with 79357343104 is 8.
Given the equation 3(d1 + d3 + d5 + d7 + d9) + (d2 + d4 + d6 + d8 + d10 + d12) ≡ 0 (mod 10), and the first 11 digits of a UPC is 79357343104, the check digit (d12) is 8.
The UPC 041331021641 is a valid UPC.
The tenth digit in an ISBN-10 is used to check for errors; it is calculated using a weighted sum of the first nine digits and must be a single digit between 0 and 10.

Ciphers and Cryptography

Julius Caesar created secret messages using the Caesar cipher.
In the calculation for the UPC check digit, the equation given reduces to (3(d1 + d3 + d5 + d7 + d9) + (d2 + d4 + d6 + d8 + d10 + d12)) ≡ 0 (mod 10).
The congruence used in the ISBN-10 ensures that a single error can be detected.
The ISBN-10 with the first 9 digits as 007288008 has a check digit of 5.

Properties of Congruence

If $a ≡ b$ (mod $m$) and $c ≡ d$ (mod $m$), then $a + c ≡ b + d$ (mod $m$).
The statement 'If $a ≡ b$ (mod $m$), then $c + a ≡ c + b$ (mod $m$) for any integer $c$' is true.
An example that illustrates the failure of division in congruences is 14 ≡ 8 (mod 6) but dividing both sides by 2 results in 7 ≡ 4 (mod 6), which is not a valid congruence.
The operation $a +_m b$ is defined as $(a + b) mod m$, which is called addition modulo m.

Modular Operations

The congruence $14 ≡ 8$ (mod $6$) allows for division by $2$ to create a valid congruence because $2$ is relatively prime to $6$.
If $a ≡ b$ (mod $m$), then multiplying both sides by $c$ results in $c imes a ≡ c imes b$ (mod $m$).

RSA Cryptosystem

The primary function used to encrypt a message in the RSA cryptosystem is exponentiation modulo n.
The value of n in the RSA system is the product of two prime numbers.
The decrypted message if the ciphertext received is 0981 0461 using the RSA method mentioned is "HELLO".
In the RSA encryption process, the decryption key is the inverse of e modulo (p−1)(q−1).

Diffe-Hellman Key Agreement Protocol

The purpose of the Diffe-Hellman key agreement protocol is to allow two parties to establish a shared secret key over an insecure channel without having to share any secret information beforehand.
Alice and Bob can share a key without any prior shared secret information using the Diffe-Hellman protocol.
Alice and Bob agree on the values of a (the generator of the group), p (the prime modulus), k1 (Alice's secret key), and k2 (Bob's secret key) in the Diffe-Hellman key agreement protocol.
An adversary needs to solve the Discrete Logarithm Problem to find k1 and k2 from ak1 mod p and ak2 mod p.
Adding a digital signature to a message ensures that the message originates from the claimed sender and has not been tampered with.
The purpose of Alice applying her decryption function to the blocks of the message is to verify that the message originated from Bob and has not been tampered with.
Alice's RSA public key is denoted as (n, e), while her private key is denoted as (n, d).
Applying Alice's encryption function E(n,e) to her digital signature results in Alice's public key (n,e).
The values p and q in Alice's RSA key must be distinct prime numbers.
The values of p and q in Alice's RSA system are 11 and 13 respectively.
