I don't understand how plaintext is encoded by elliptic curves. I see how it's put in the x-point and how you have to be careful about making sure there's a square root to form the y-coordinate, but other than that, I'm lost.
It is interesting to think about the implications of elliptic curve cryptography. I didn't expect to see it have ways to help with factoring, but I'm excited to see how it can lead to factoring algorithms.
