Saying something like 128-bit security requires approximately 2128 operations to crack would make it a very very inefficient security tool. I could only assume it means 2^128 operations which is...

Hi @nakov! Your book is really nice work! What do you think about translations it to the other languages?
MD5 and SHA-1 are affected by collisions. Probably modify this sentence. You do cover this under "Secure Hash Algorithms", so the above statement somehow contradicts.
