FiniteFields

C library for working with elements of finite fields.

Main Features

• ff_get_zero: Returns the zero element of the finite field.
• ff_get_identity: Returns the identity element of the finite field.
• ff_inv_add: Calculates the inverse element under addition.
• ff_inv_mult: Calculates the inverse element under multiplication.

Operations under elements of the same finite field:

• ff_add: Performs addition of two elements.
• ff_sub: Calculates the difference between two elements.
• ff_mult: Multiplies two elements.
• ff_div: Divides one element of the finite field by another.

Other helpful features:

• ff_2_8_init_elem ff_2_16_init_elem ff_2_32_init_elem: Initializes an element of the finite field of the order 2^N from uintN_t.

Building
