This class contains utility methods for performing mathematical operations over - /// the Galois Field GF(256). Operations use the primitive polynomial - /// x^8 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + 1 in calculations.
- /// - ///Throughout this package, elements of GF(256) are represented as an int
- /// for convenience and speed (but at the cost of memory).
- /// Only the bottom 8 bits are really used.
