PS4 Handout Updated

We have fixed a bug in problelm 1(c). The pseudo-random nubmer generator shoud compute values for k modulo p - 1, to respect the pre-condition that k is in Z*(p - 1). The problem is solvable either way, but the modification makes the solution a bit cleaner. We will accept solutions for either version. Please download the updated version from the handouts page.
