# Introduction to Cryptography - Welcome to our Introduction to cryptography discussion forum. Here we ask questions and have discussions about our course. - The instructor will be the mediator of the forum. Other students with more experience can also mediate as long as the guidelines are followed. ## Guidlines - Discussions should be regarding the course content and course material. - Additional discussions can be held as long as they relate to cryptography or cyber security. - Please respect each others opinions and don't bully other members in the forum. - When proposing a question or concern write your name and question. ###### example: ###### Instructor_name - Q: How awesome is our instructor? ###### Student_name - A: Very awesome. ###### Student_name_1 C: I agree. ###### Q will be for question and A will be for answer. Comments can be made by manually. - These guidelines will be enforced strictly by the instuctor and the teaching assistants. # Open Discussions Daisy Q: is the RSA algorithm breakable? Chiuzu A: No it's not but current technologies in quantum computing and Shor's algorithm make it likely to be broken in later years. ###### Daisy has entered the chat Daisy A: thank you for the input ;) Ian Q: Hello professor, why do we use Triple DES instead of Double DES?
