Could use some proofreading.

This is what keeps me skeptical about ECC. RSA is really chunky, and maybe that's a fundamental advantage from an information theory perspective. Compromising on the crypto scheme because we can't fit inside UDP seems like a cursed path.

I do wish these types of document were published as HTML and not just as PDF.
