16.2, due december 4

i was a little confused by the representing plaintext section. i couldn’t quite understand how the encoding process works. i do get lost in mathematical explanations in this book, so i probably just need to see an example and i’ll get it.

it was really helpful that we went over this section in class before i read it. i know i would have been confused by the math, but since i’ve already seen it and gone through examples, i was able to follow most of the section. i was reminded how cool i thought the math was. this was the first time i had been introduced to elliptic curves like this (at least that i can remember) and i really enjoyed adding points together.
