Greetings all,

I've been refining the Elligator handshake to work on the circuit level for now as opposed to the connection level[1], merging in some SRI changes[2], especially those with respect to configuration files[3], and studying resources in order to prepare for a possible implementation of Elligator^2 [4][5](with parts in Lua [6]) as well as understanding the new SRI JumpBox alternative [7] to the transparent proxy that vmon developed.

Happy fireworks (for you US-based readers!)

Also, why this numbering begins at 1 instead of zero ;p [7] Vinod Yegneswaran, private communcation.
