# 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?
