Class GF2Vector

java.lang.Object

org.bouncycastle.pqc.math.linearalgebra.Vector

org.bouncycastle.pqc.math.linearalgebra.GF2Vector

public class GF2Vector
extends Vector

This class implements the abstract class Vector for the case of vectors over the finite field GF(2).
For the vector representation the array of type int[] is used, thus one element of the array holds 32 elements of the vector.
