Subject: Correction re Rabin's scheme

Dave,

I checked my interpretation of Rabin's system with him and found that I had it
wrong.  The storage requirements for the key s are not bad at all and are
independent of the message length.  In fact, a key of say 8,000 bytes 
would do.

Sorry for the confusion.  I should have checked first.

Dorothy
