8.4-8.5 and 8.7, due on November 2

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

The most difficult part of the material was the section on multicollisions. It was difficult applying the birthday attack ideas to this idea.

What was the most interesting part of the material?

I think that birthday attacks are very interesting. It is a neat counter-intuitive problem. It once again shows why rigor is necessary along with intuition.
