-
galois.GF2m_factory(m, mode='auto', rebuild=False)[source]¶ Factory function to construct Galois field array classes of type GF(2^m).
- Parameters
p (int) – The prime characteristic of the field GF(2^m).
rebuild (bool, optional) – A flag to force a rebuild of the class and its lookup tables. Default is False which will return the cached, previously-built class if it exists.
- Returns
A new Galois field class that is a sublcass of galois.GF2mBase.
- Return type
