Book excerpt: This book developed from a course on finite fields I gave at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the Spring semester of 1979. The course was taught at the request of an exceptional group of graduate students (includ ing Anselm Blumer, Fred Garber, Evaggelos Geraniotis, Jim Lehnert, Wayne Stark, and Mark Wallace) who had just taken a course on coding theory from me. The theory of finite fields is the mathematical foundation of algebraic coding theory, but in coding theory courses there is never much time to give more than a "Volkswagen" treatment of them. But my 1979 students wanted a "Cadillac" treatment, and this book differs very little from the course I gave in response. Since 1979 I have used a subset of my course notes (correspond ing roughly to Chapters 1-6) as the text for my "Volkswagen" treatment of finite fields whenever I teach coding theory. There is, ironically, no coding theory anywhere in the book! If this book had a longer title it would be "Finite fields, mostly of char acteristic 2, for engineering and computer science applications. " It certainly does not pretend to cover the general theory of finite fields in the profound depth that the recent book of Lidl and Neidereitter (see the Bibliography) does.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on the Arithmetic of Finite Field, WAIFI 2014, held in Gebze, Turkey, in September 2014. The 9 revised full papers and 43 invited talks presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. This workshop is a forum of mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers and physicists performing research on finite field arithmetic, interested in communicating the advances in the theory, applications, and implementations of finite fields. The workshop will help to bridge the gap between the mathematical theory of finite fields and their hardware/software implementations and technical applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a monumental reference for the theory and practice of computer security. Comprehensive in scope, this text covers applied and practical elements, theory, and the reasons for the design of applications and security techniques. It covers both the management and the engineering issues of computer security. It provides excellent examples of ideas and mechanisms that demonstrate how disparate techniques and principles are combined in widely-used systems. This book is acclaimed for its scope, clear and lucid writing, and its combination of formal and theoretical aspects with real systems, technologies, techniques, and policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of finite fields, whose origins can be traced back to the works of Gauss and Galois, has played a part in various branches in mathematics. Inrecent years we have witnessed a resurgence of interest in finite fields, and this is partly due to important applications in coding theory and cryptography. The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to some of these recent developments. It should be of interest to a wide range of students, researchers and practitioners in the disciplines of computer science, engineering and mathematics. We shall focus our attention on some specific recent developments in the theory and applications of finite fields. While the topics selected are treated in some depth, we have not attempted to be encyclopedic. Among the topics studied are different methods of representing the elements of a finite field (including normal bases and optimal normal bases), algorithms for factoring polynomials over finite fields, methods for constructing irreducible polynomials, the discrete logarithm problem and its implications to cryptography, the use of elliptic curves in constructing public key cryptosystems, and the uses of algebraic geometry in constructing good error-correcting codes. To limit the size of the volume we have been forced to omit some important applications of finite fields. Some of these missing applications are briefly mentioned in the Appendix along with some key references.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last several decades there has been a renewed interest in finite field theory, partly as a result of important applications in a number of diverse areas such as electronic communications, coding theory, combinatorics, designs, finite geometries, cryptography, and other portions of discrete mathematics. In addition, a number of recent books have been devoted to the subject. Despite the resurgence in interest, it is not widely known that many results concerning finite fields have natural generalizations to abritrary algebraic extensions of finite fields. The purpose of this book is to describe these generalizations. After an introductory chapter surveying pertinent results about finite fields, the book describes the lattice structure of fields between the finite field $GF(q)$ and its algebraic closure $\Gamma (q)$. The authors introduce a notion, due to Steinitz, of an extended positive integer $N$ which includes each ordinary positive integer $n$ as a special case. With the aid of these Steinitz numbers, the algebraic extensions of $GF(q)$ are represented by symbols of the form $GF(q^N)$. When $N$ is an ordinary integer $n$, this notation agrees with the usual notation $GF(q^n)$ for a dimension $n$ extension of $GF(q)$. The authors then show that many of the finite field results concerning $GF(q^n)$ are also true for $GF(q^N)$. One chapter is devoted to giving explicit algorithms for computing in several of the infinite fields $GF(q^N)$ using the notion of an explicit basis for $GF(q^N)$ over $GF(q)$. Another chapter considers polynomials and polynomial-like functions on $GF(q^N)$ and contains a description of several classes of permutation polynomials, including the $q$-polynomials and the Dickson polynomials. Also included is a brief chapter describing two of many potential applications. Aimed at the level of a beginning graduate student or advanced undergraduate, this book could serve well as a supplementary text for a course in finite field theory.
