Hi C'Punks.
Here's a rather mathematical question.
Can anyone explain or give an example of how to use arithmetic in GF(q^n)?
Often in cryptography we work in GF(p). I knew the existence of other fields,
like elliptic curves and so, but I found a short comment in Applied
Cryptography page 210 that I couldn't understand.
Thanks in advance for your help.
