6.5-7.1 for 28 October

1. The application to treaty verification was not initially clear. It involves the idea of authentication but I wasn't sure exactly how that takes place.

2. I liked the idea of using functions with trapdoors as a way to make a public key system. I also found the idea of discrete logarithms interesting. It reminded me a little bit of complex logarithms since there could be multiple solutions unless we make it clear which solution to default to.
