i’m a little confused as to how factoring with elliptic curves works. i reread the section to see if i could make any more sense of it, and i think i understood it a little better. i’m not completely confident with these elliptic curves. actually working through an example will be very helpful for me.
i don’t know why, but i really liked that if an integer has only small prime factors that are less than or equal to B then that integer is called B-smooth. that name just made me laugh. also, even though i don’t really understand it all, i think the math behind these elliptic curves is pretty interesting. it’s so cool that this has all been discovered and that it can be useful!
