16.5 , due December 11 and Student Ratings

Difficult:
     I would like to go through some examples of using the elliptic curve cryptosystem. It seems that we can use elliptic curve to improve most cryptosystems that use discrete logs and some that don't. I'm not really sure how it improves each cryptosystem except that it makes the discrete logarithm harder to find. 

Reflective:
     I think it's interesting that the elliptic curve cryptosystem essentially builds off the other cyrptosystems. I was wondering if there is any stand alone elliptic curve method or if it always requires some base system to improve. Also I was curious how we can use the elliptic curve to improve non discrete log cryptosystems.

I also completed the student ratings for this course.
