What was the most difficult part of the material for you?

This section begins to map ideas used in the past onto elliptic curves. Sometimes it was difficult to fully make the crossover in my mind.

What was the most interesting part of the material?

I found the difficulty of attacking elliptic curves interesting. I think it is cool that some of the attacks that work on a discrete logarithm do not work on elliptic curves. They seem to be very interesting mathematical objects.
