Sec 16.2, due Dec 2nd

1. I really liked this section, but I was a little confused on how to represent plaintext as an elliptic curve and mapping the message on to a point on that curve. The example on page 356 was just a tad confusing, but when we go over it in class I'm sure I'll understand!
2. I really enjoy reading these sections! It's fun to learn about elliptic curves and how many different uses that they have! You can use them for discrete logs and for representing plaintext! I love learning about this stuff!
