16.5, due on December 9

  • In this section, I had a hard time going through the application of ElGamal digital signatures on an elliptic curve. The outline seems very similar to the signature we already learned (outside of elliptic curves), and maybe that's why its tripping me up. It is so similar that I'm having a hard time making the distinctions.
  • I really loved this section as well. It helps me to apply a new concept to an older one that I already understand. That helps me to understand both subjects better. The only thing I would've liked to have seen more of in this section is examples. I followed the outlines pretty well, except that of the signature. Elliptic curves are still pretty new and are still taking some getting used to. It would have been wonderful for me to see more examples.
