Sections 3.12 and 6.2 for 14 October

1. The OAEP was a little difficult to understand. There were just a lot of details and steps and I wasn't fully sure why it worked.

2. I liked the idea of attacking RSA by looking at how long it takes to decrypt a message. It used some statistical ideas, so it was interesting to see the mathematics and statistics mix in order to break an RSA message.
