A clean, minimal Typst template designed for university lecture notes and course handouts. Features a styled cover page, automatic table of contents, disclaimer page, and a rich set of callout components.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Import the template

#import "@preview/justwhitee-notes:0.2.1": *

You can initialize a new project with this template using the Typst CLI:

typst init @preview/justwhitee-notes

2. Initialize the document

Wrap your content with the project function:

#show: project.with(
  title: "Operating Systems",
  subject: "CS301",
  professor: "Prof. John Smith",
  author: "Your Name",
  logo-subject: image("imgs/course-logo.png"),        // optional
  logo-personal: image("imgs/my-logo.png"),           // optional
  year: "2024/2025",                                  // optional, auto-generated if omitted
  bento-url: "https://bento.me/yourprofile",          // optional
  paypal-url: "https://paypal.me/yourname",           // optional
  contact-url: "https://t.me/username",               // optional
  show-disclaimer: true,                              // optional, default true
  lang: "en",                                         // optional, default 'en'
)

Parameters

🧩 Components

Callout Boxes

Pre-built callout styles for structuring your notes:

// Definition box (teal accent)
#def("Kernel")[
  The kernel is the core of an operating system...
]

// Important/Warning box (yellow accent)
#important("Key Concept")[
  This will definitely appear in the exam.
]

// Example box (gray accent)
#example("Scheduling Example")[
  Given processes P1, P2, P3...
]

// Property/Statement box (purple accent)
#prop("Atomicity")[
  An operation is atomic if it behaves as a single, indivisible unit of work. 
]

// Proof box (red accent)
#proof("Proof: SJF")[
  We want to prove that $"TWT"(sigma)$ is minimized if and only...
]

You can also use the base callout function for full customization:

#callout(title: "Custom", icon: "🔥", color: rgb("#e74c3c"), endpoint: true)[
  Custom callout content.
]

[!INFO] You can always customize your own callout, where you can have custom title, icon (on left-upper corner), color and right-bottom dot, endpoint, presence (useful for multi-page callouts, expecially for proofs).

Inline Annotations

Quick inline markers for annotating your notes:

#note[Pay attention to this detail.]          // 👉 Note: (yellow highlight)
#tip[This is a useful shortcut.]              // ✅ Tip: (teal highlight)
#problem[This approach has a flaw.]           // ❗️ Problem: (red highlight)
#why(title: "use threads")[Because...]        // 🤔 Why use threads? (purple highlight)
#how(title: "it works")[Step by step...]      // 👨🏻‍🏫 How it works? (blue highlight)
#extra[Side note or additional context.]      // Italic muted text, smaller size, "margin" notes, or for extra clarifications

These are useful for further details of your notes (like point outs, explanations, …).

Inline Text Styles

#kw("keyword")                        // Bold monospace keyword (accent color is teal by default)
#kw("error", color: danger)           // With custom color

#hl("highlighted text")              // Highlighted monospace span (accent color - teal)
#hl("warning text", color: warning)  // With custom color

[!INFO] #hl should be used on the same line, so if you want to highlight more lines you have to manually add more #hl wisely. Otherwise you can use typst’s #highlight.

Symbols

#so       // => (implication arrow)
#arrow    // -> (simple right arrow)
#swarrow  // ~> (curvy right arrow)

Side Note Block

A left-bordered block for notes or asides:

#side-note[
  This is a side note or an important remark set apart from the body.
]

Like callouts, side-notes are customizable with color.

Code Blocks

Code blocks are automatically styled, just use standard Typst raw blocks:

```python
def hello():
    print("Hello, world!")
```

Inline code is also styled automatically:

The `fork()` system call creates a new process.

Image Cropping

Utility to crop images by hiding edges (not all sides are mandatory):

#crop(image("diagram.png"), top: 20pt, bottom: 10pt, left: 10pt, right: 50pt)

📄 Document Structure

The template automatically generates:

1. Cover page - title, subject, professor, author, logos, academic year
2. Disclaimer page - a standard disclaimer with contact/support links (omit with show-disclaimer: false)
3. Table of Contents - auto-generated up to heading depth 3
4. Header - appears from page 3 onwards, shows title (course/subject) and logos (course/subject on left and personal on right)
5. Footer - centered page number on all pages after the cover

🎨 Color Reference

🔤 Fonts

The template uses the following font stacks:

• Monospace (body text): JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, Roboto Mono, Consolas
• Sans-serif (headings, UI): Syne, Montserrat, Segoe UI

If using the Typst Web App, import them in template/fonts/ folder (or anywhere).
Must be installed (static version) for best results locally.

I advise to use JetBrains Mono and Syne.

= Public-Key Cryptography: RSA

#extra[RSA is named after its creators: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, who publicly described the algorithm in 1977.]

#def("RSA Algorithm")[
  #kw[RSA] is an *asymmetric cryptographic algorithm* based on the practical difficulty of the factorization of the product of two large *#underline[prime] numbers*.
]

#important("Security Foundation")[
  The entire security of RSA relies on the #kw[Integer Factorization Problem]. If a fast polynomial-time algorithm for factorization is found, RSA becomes completely insecure.
]

== Key Generation

#how(title: "generate an RSA keypair")[
  + Choose two distinct #underline[prime] numbers, $p$ and $q$.
  + Compute $n = p times q$. This $n$ is the modulus for both keys.
  + Compute Euler's totient function: $phi(n) = (p-1)(q-1)$.
  + Choose an integer $e$ such that $1 < e < phi(n)$ and $gcd(e, phi(n)) = 1$.
  + Determine $d$ as $d equiv e^(-1) (mod phi(n))$.
]
#v(-1em)
#note[The public key is the tuple $(n, e)$ and the private key is the tuple $(n, d)$.]
#v(-1em)
#tip[In practice, the public exponent $e$ is often chosen to be $65537$ ($2^16 + 1$) because it has a short binary representation, making encryption significantly faster.]

== Encryption and Decryption

Let $M$ be the plaintext message and $C$ be the ciphertext. The process flows as follows:

- *Encryption*: Plaintext $M$ #arrow Ciphertext $C = M^e (mod n)$
- *Decryption*: Ciphertext $C$ #arrow Plaintext $M = C^d (mod n)$

#problem[Raw RSA (Textbook RSA) is #underline[*deterministic*]. If you encrypt the exact same message twice, it produces the same ciphertext. This makes it highly vulnerable to chosen-plaintext attacks.]

#why(title: "we use padding schemes")[
  To introduce randomness into the plaintext before encryption (e.g., using OAEP padding). This ensures that $M_1 = M_2$ does #hl(color: danger)[*#underline[not]*] imply $C_1 = C_2$.
]

== Mathematical Proof of Correctness

We need to prove that decrypting the ciphertext yields the original message: $C^d equiv M (mod n)$.

#proof("Proof: Correctness of RSA", endpoint: true)[
  Given $C = M^e (mod n)$, we want to find $C^d (mod n)$.
  Substitute $C$:
  $C^d equiv (M^e)^d equiv M^(e d) (mod n)$
  
  By definition of the private exponent $d$, we have $e d equiv 1 (mod phi(n))$.
  #so $e d = 1 + k phi(n)$ for some integer $k$.

  Substituting this back into the exponent:
  $M^(e d) equiv M^(1 + k phi(n)) equiv M times (M^phi(n))^k (mod n)$

  By Euler's Theorem, if $gcd(M, n) = 1$, then $M^phi(n) equiv 1 (mod n)$.
  $M times (1)^k equiv M times 1 equiv M (mod n)$
  
  Thus, decryption works correctly and returns the original message.
]

== Implementation Details

Here is a simple Python snippet to demonstrate modular exponentiation, which is the core operation in the RSA algorithm:

```python
def encrypt(m, e, n):
    # Computes (m^e) % n efficiently
    return pow(m, e, n)
```
#side-note(color: zdb-color)[
Always use #hl[stablished libraries] like `Cryptography` in Python #hl[for production environments] instead of implementing custom crypto algorithms from scratch.
