One of the reasons I love reading about crypto algorithms is that there is a certain elegance and the pleasure of solving an intellectual puzzle when you read them.

I felt this way when I first read about RSA and public key encryption, and Shamir's secret sharing algorithm

This article gave me the same feeling with regards to OPAQUE.

I don't know that I will ever personally implement the algorithm, but just knowing about it is gives me a certain nerdy pleasure.

Thanks for the great writeup.
