High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!Arithmetic in a finite field is different from standard integer arithmetic. There are a limited number of elements in the finite field; all operations performed in the finite field result in an element within that field. While each finite field is itself not infinite, there are infinitely many different finite fields; their number of elements (which is also called cardinal) is necessarily of the form pn where p is a prime number and n is a positive integer, and two finite fields of the same size are isomorphic. The prime p is called the characteristic...
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!Arithmetic in a finite field is different from standard integer arithmetic. There are a limited number of elements in the finite field; all operations performed in the finite field result in an element within that field. While each finite field is itself not infinite, there are infinitely many different finite fields; their number of elements (which is also called cardinal) is necessarily of the form pn where p is a prime number and n is a positive integer, and two finite fields of the same size are isomorphic. The prime p is called the characteristic of the field, and the positive integer n is called the dimension of the field over its prime field. Finite fields are used in a variety of applications, including in classical coding theory in linear block codes such as BCH and RS and in cryptography algorithms such as the Rijndael encryption algorithm.
