While you may have got away with one on question 4 from quiz 1, I am now assigning that reading chapter along with a few others. Some of this material we have covered, other we will cover soon. Ensure that you have all the reading completed in advance of the next quiz if not sooner.
Note: If you have the brown Bishop textbook, make sure to reference the chapter names. See http://nob.cs.ucdavis.edu/book/book-intro/toc.html for a table of contents for the green book. Use the names from that link to map to the correct chapter in the brown text.
Another reading that may help clarify crypto hashes is:
