Comment (by kcrisman):
Trivial comment: a number of things in the documentation are marked as
code
{{{
``561=3*11*17``
}}}
that should probably be marked as math markup
{{{
`561=3*11*17`
}}}
or something along those lines.

Nils' argument presumably applies to nearly all the stuff in the `crypto`
folder, though, doesn't it? Certainly the only current public-key one.
I guess it depends on whether you are going to ask students to ''code''
things like DH or RSA, or only to "do" them. For my own purposes, I think
it could be useful to have a well-commented implementation of this
(assuming this is in fact a well-commented implementation) that could be
used by any given instructor who may not want to/have the expertise to
implement something well. (Mathematicians, not programmers.)
That said, I agree that the utility of this is clearly as a pedagogical
tool, so a lot of examples of it (and/or why RSA could fail to be
particularly secure with some choices of `p` and `q`, etc.) along with
examples of "brute-force" or other attacks would seem to be the main use
of this. So that one can demonstrate such things without having to recode
it all from scratch - built-in, as it were.
