Galois

version: 0.0.1

This library implements a general-purpose Galois Field, GF(2^8) aka 256, commonly used in cryptographic applications such as AES and Shamir Secret Sharing.

I plan to add a GF(2^16) aka 65536 implementation in the future.

Installation & Usage

go get github.com/zytekaron/galois-go

import "github.com/zytekaron/galois-go"

func main() {
    gfAES := galois.NewDefault256() // defaults to AES polynomial and generator
    gfRS := galois.New256(galois.PolyReedSolomon, galois.GenReedSolomon)
}
