Last final is done. All I need to do is to show that any 2-round key-exchange protocol can be converted into a public-key encryption scheme that is CPA-secure (take home final/homework), and I am free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow I'll go for a bike ride, pack everything and off to NorCal for a week. :D

Congratulations - bring your arm warmers when you come up. As for your final, perhaps Bruce Schneier's book will help? :)

I don't think that problem is even covered in the other "Applied Cryptography"!
