Assignment 39

1. I feel like the points in this section weren't too difficult. What I still struggle with is the idea of elliptic curves themselves. There are just a few points about it--like coming up with the points at times--that still haven't clicked. It seems like once this is solidified in my mind, I'll be okay with everything else.

2. It is interesting how things like the P-H algorithm can be thwarted in the case of elliptic curves. It definitely does make it seem as though elliptic curve cryptography is more secure. I wonder what attacks we might be able to make on elliptic curves that we can't on our other systems though.
