[Ballot comment]
My one quibble with this from a reader's perspective is the use of the phrase "the time to use the algorithm" - it would profitably be replaced with the phrasing "the compute time for the algorithm" since it sounds like it might otherwise concern the question of when
the public key step is performed (as if there are changes related to the added bits
due to more randomness or some such).

Nit: bullet item 1 in Section 1, 2nd sentence - "Do this by estimating minimum number" should be "Do this by estimating the minimum number"?

It might be nice to correlate the "TWIRL Correction" in Section 5.1 with the earlier mention of Shamir's work - a mention of the acronym TWIRL in the first sentence of 2.5 would do the trick.

Nits:

In section 3.1 I believe it be more precise to say "A Diffie-Hellman key exchange is done with a finite cyclic group G with a generator g and an exponent x." (Added
"finite cyclic".)
