section 16.2

Difficult: Discrete logarithms sound like they would be difficult to do with elliptic curves.

Interesting: It's interesting that there's a way to use elliptic curves to encode/decode messages. In all honesty, before that last bit of the section, I was like, what the heck does this have to do with cryptography. And now I am beginning to see the possibilities. Pretty cool how people can come up with these ideas for cryptosystems.
