Reflection: I had no idea that cryptography was used in so many different aspects of my life when identifying yourself online or when making purchases with your credit card or when using digital signatures. The Euclidean algorithm is really neat! i'm excited to use it!
Difficult: I'm still not understanding how cryptography is used to make the above mentioned things work. When I think of cryptography I think of the cypher we did in class-- different letters meaning different things. I also don't understand where knowing what prime numbers are fits into our study of cryptography. The information I read today feels pretty disjointed.
