coding the matrix week1 GF(2)

Addition of 0 and 1 in the Galois Field 2 is just like exclusive-or.

def encrypt(p,k): return p+k
from GF2 import one
k = one
p = one

c = encrypt(p, k)
print c

Now, suppose an eavesdropper Eve, observes the value of c.
So, let's suppose the secret key is chosen by flipping a coin.

So, you can see in this case, you could effectively double the throughput from this source to these two recipients using GF2 addition.
