Brilliant read. It's also worth reading the discussion from an earlier submission (60 days ago):

With all the current discussions about crypto, RSA, backdoors, random number generators, etc, it's worth reading things like this to come up to speed with the concepts, even if you don't get all the details.

Thanks for the link! I am relatively new to submissions. Is there a way I can check for resubmissions ?

Normally obvious dups are detected by the system, but many are not. You can search before submitting, but most people don't bother. People will pick it up and cross-reference earlier discussions if appropriate.
