Hi all,

A question for the matematicians out there:

I am looking at the Diffie Hellman public key exchange protocol and am trying to find out why it is computationally hard to take logs in a finite (Galois) field.

I think polluting this mailing list with trivial questions such as this is just as bad as polluting it with personal attacks. Read the FAQs. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
