m Group Order: new section, comment on puzzling math statement in the text.
m Group Order: fix typo s/g/G/
Line 188:
: For cryptographic application the [[order (group theory)|order]] of ''G'', that is the smallest positive number ''n'' such that <math>n G = \infty</math>, is normally prime.
 
The ''order'' of an element ''G'' in an additive group is the smallest positive integer ''n'' such that <math>ngnG = 0</math>, not &infin; (Gallian, ''Contemporary Abstract Algebra'', ch. 4). This needs to be fixed.
