Read Diffie and Hellman's classic paper [90].

a. Briefly summarize the paper.

b. Diffie and Hellman give a system for distributing keys over an insecure channel (see Section 3 of the paper). How does this system work?

c. Diffie and Hellman also conjecture that a "one way compiler" might be used to construct a public key cryptosystem. Do you believe this is a plausible approach? Why or why not?
