Section 16.5 LAST BLOG EVER!

It is interesting that modular multiplication and modular exponentiation can be made to be analog and used with elliptic curves.

It was difficult to follow the explanation of the elliptic curve way of doing a diffie-hellman key exchange.

Section 16.4

It is interesting that elliptic curves must be changed slightly when working mod 2. This is because of singularities.

I didn't follow the explanation of why GF(4) is necessary for elliptic curves.
