org.bouncycastle.pqc.math.linearalgebra.GF2nField

org.bouncycastle.pqc.math.linearalgebra.GF2nONBField

public class GF2nONBField
extends GF2nField

This class implements the abstract class GF2nField for ONB representation. It computes the fieldpolynomial, multiplication matrix and one of its roots mONBRoot, (see for example Certicoms Whitepapers). GF2nField is used by GF2nONBElement which implements the elements of this field.
