I like the one where they talk about someone sending a secret through the postal service.
1. Bob wants to send Alice a secret.
2. But Bob cannot send the locked up secret without sending Alice the key to unlock it with too. But, if he does that, then a postal worker could use the key himself or it could fall into someone elses hands.
3. To solve this issue, Alice sends Bob an unlocked lock that only she has the key to.
4. Bob places the lock on the box and locks the box and sends the locked box along to Alice
5. Alice receives the box and unlocks it with her unique key.
Now, just do that mathematically.

Nice explanation.
Just a small question: How does Bob send Alice the key anytime before Step 4? Can that key not be duplicated by its bearer? (well, they were two questions )
|

Bob never has Alice's secret key; he can lock the lock without it.

Got it. This is the public-key / private-key thing, right?

I don't think it's appropriate to post links in the Lounge that only work in the UK!
How do we preserve the wisdom men will need,
when their violent passions are spent?

Postings in the Lounge that require special software to view? You must be kidding!

This is typical of the kind of self elected lounge police that have given CP a bad name.

I thought everybody used a VPN with selectable worldwide servers these days?

I won't lie - seeing your name here was disconcerting.

It's almost like you're twins or something.

Yeah, we badly need education reform: online education is the way to go! Otherwise...

PS. frankly, eLearning should be implemented on a mass scale long time ago: what is that special they are doing in the classrooms that cannot be done online?

Personally, I prefer to learn in a classroom, it just works better for me.
The larger point is that a student should be allowed to learn in the way that works best for him. One size does not fit all.

Well, in ideal world students might be allowed to choose what they want, but in our substantially non-ideal real world a set of choices for a student in the Upper East Side Manhattan (for e.g.) is very different from the one living in distant village somewhere in Alaska. The online education is practically the only way to effectively address such sort of ZIP code differences. Plus, it’s not just “one size fits all”: online education comes in many sizes, like 1280x800, 1366x800, 1920x800, 2560x1440, etc.
