2.2.1. Main Points - These are the main questions that keep coming up. Not necessarily the most basic question, just the ones that get asked a lot. What most FAQs are. 2.2.2. Connections to Other Sections 2.2.3. Where to Find Additional Information - newcomers to crypto should buy Bruce Schneier's "Applied Cryptography"...it will save many hours worth of unnecessary questions and clueless remarks about cryptography. - the various FAQs publishe in the newsroups (like sci.crypt, alt.security.pgp) are very helpful. (also at rtfm.mit.edu) 2.2.4. Miscellaneous Comments - I wasn't sure what to include here in the MFAQ--perhaps people can make suggestions of other things to include. - My advice is that if something interests you, use your editing/searching tools to find the same topic in the main section. Usually (but not always) there's more material in the main chapters than here in the MFAQ.
