Sections 8.1-8.2, due November 6

1. I don't really understand the third requirement of a cryptographic hash function. I realize the importance of it, but I don't get the difference between strongly collision free and weakly collision free and how they are related.

2. I'm excited to be learning about hash functions. I understand that the example in 8.2 is very simple, but I am glad to be getting into even more complex cryptosystems. I am interested to learn what makes hashes more secure beyond just rotating.
