- I was particularly dismayed at Lewand's treatment of modular exponentiation, which is the central operation in many cryptosystems.
- Computing individual hexadecimal digits using that formula relies on a venerable technique known as the binary algorithm for exponentiation.
- With ordinals you can do addition, multiplication and exponentiation - even infinitely often - but you can't do subtraction or division, as far as I know.
- One of the main reasons for including an introduction to modular arithmetic is that the two most popular public key algorithms use modular exponentiation as their basic mathematical process.
