6.6-6.7

I thought that the idea of using public key cryptography to confirm who sent a message is really neat idea since it allows you to use the encryption for verification. I never thought of using the private key to decrypt as a way of verifying who sent a message. It's really quite clever. I didn't quite grasp the example they used for the two countries and how that would work.
