What was the most difficult part of the material for you?

The Feige-Fiat-Shamir Identification Scheme is a little interesting. The trickiest part was understanding how Eve might be able to get away with certain selections of x if she knows the bitstring beforehand.

What was the most interesting part of the material?

I think the idea of zero-knowledge techniques is very fascinating. I think it is very cool that there is a scheme where one can identify oneself without revealing any part of the secret, and that the verifier can be satisfied.
