Thanks, that was the warm up question ;) I'm in a network security class this semester (covering the basics ) and we just got assigned our semester project. I'll need to research, analyze and present to the department an overview of an Internet standard or cryptographic primitive.
I want a topic that is new/interesting but I don't want burden myself with something that is overly complex. My existing knowledge consists of just the basics (SSL, SSH, MD5) and I'm running a little short on ideas. Got any suggestions?
