Qing Ren’s autumn diary week 03

In this week, I shown the birthday attack program to other guys during the meeting. They helped me to test the coding, and found some problems. I just defined the variable by long, but in actually, the data input the program may be very big. Just like the hash value by md5 have 128 bits, so the program should calculate the result of 2128. But for now, my coding cannot do this kind of calculation. So there is a limitation of my coding.

I tried other methods to store the input data, but still cannot fixed it very well. So we discussed this problem with our supervisor, he said it’s not important for the whole project.

And I still waiting for others' parts finished, so we can combine each other's function, and add some function in my part of birthday attack.
