 ## Assumptions
 
-We assume that Tor onion services (v3) and I2P services cannot be trivially deanonymized, and that the cryptographic algorithms we employ cannot be broken in any manner faster than brute force unless a quantum computer is used. 
+We assume that Tor onion services (v3) and I2P services cannot be trivially deanonymized, and that the underlying cryptographic primitives we employ cannot be broken in any manner faster than brute force unless a quantum computer is used. 
 
 Once quantum safe algorithms are more mature and have relatively high level libraries, they will be deployed.
