Galois Field

An efficient implementation of Galois fields used in cryptography research.

Technical background

A Galois field GF(p^q), for prime p and positive q, is a field (GF(p^q), +, *, 0, 1) of finite order. Explicitly,

  • (GF(p^q), +, 0) is an abelian group,
  • (GF(p^q) \ {0}, *, 1) is an abelian group,
  • * is distributive over +, and
  • #GF(p^q) is finite.

Prime fields

Any Galois field has a unique characteristic p, the minimum positive p such that p(1) = 1 + ... + 1 = 0, and p is prime. The smallest Galois field of characteristic p is a prime field, and any Galois field of characteristic p is a finite-dimensional vector space over its prime subfield.

For example, GF(4) is a Galois field of characteristic 2 that is a two-dimensional vector space over the prime subfield GF(2) = Z / 2Z.

Extension fields

Any Galois field has order a prime power p^q for prime p and positive q, and there is a Galois field GF(p^q) of any prime power order p^q that is unique up to non-unique isomorphism. Any Galois field GF(p^q) can be constructed as an extension field over a smaller Galois subfield GF(p^r), through the identification GF(p^q) = GF(p^r)[X] / <f(X)> for an irreducible monic polynomial f(X) of degree q - r + 1 in the polynomial ring GF(p^r)[X].

For example, GF(4) has order 2^2 and can be constructed as an extension field GF(2)[X] / <f(X)> where f(X) = X^2 + X + 1 is an irreducible monic quadratic polynomial in GF(2)[X].

Binary fields

A Galois field of the form GF(2^m) for big positive m is a sum of X^n for a non-empty set of 0 < n < m. For computational efficiency in cryptography, an element of a binary field can be represented by an integer that represents a bit string. It should always be used when the field characteristic is 2.

For example, X^8 + X^4 + X^3 + X + 1 can be represented as the integer 283 that represents the bit string 100011011.

Example usage

Include the following required language extensions.

{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances #-}
{-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses #-}
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedLists #-}
{-# LANGUAGE PatternSynonyms #-}

Import the following functions at minimum.

import Data.Field.Galois (Prime, Extension, IrreducibleMonic(poly), Binary,
                          pattern X, pattern X2, pattern X3, pattern Y)

Prime fields

The following type declaration creates a prime field of a given characteristic.

type Fq = Prime 21888242871839275222246405745257275088696311157297823662689037894645226208583

Note that the characteristic given must be prime.

Galois field arithmetic can then be performed in this prime field.

fq :: Fq
fq = 5216004179354450092383934373463611881445186046129513844852096383579774061693

fq' :: Fq
fq' = 10757805228921058098980668000791497318123219899766237205512608761387909753942

arithmeticFq :: (Fq, Fq, Fq, Fq)
arithmeticFq = (fq + fq', fq - fq', fq * fq', fq / fq')

Extension fields

The following data type declaration creates a polynomial given an irreducible monic polynomial.

data P2
instance IrreducibleMonic P2 Fq where
  poly _ = X2 + 1

The following type declaration then creates an extension field with this polynomial.

type Fq2 = Extension P2 Fq

Note that the polynomial given must be irreducible and monic in the prime field.

Similarly, further extension fields can be constructed iteratively as follows.

data P6
instance IrreducibleMonic P6 Fq2 where
  poly _ = X3 - (9 + Y X)

type Fq6 = Extension P6 Fq2

data P12
instance IrreducibleMonic P12 Fq6 where
  poly _ = X2 - Y X

type Fq12 = Extension P12 Fq6

Note that X, X2, X3 accesses the current indeterminate variables and Y descends the tower of indeterminate variables.

Galois field arithmetic can then be performed in this extension field.
