public class ECFieldF2m implements ECField { private int m; private int[] ks; private BigInteger rp;
Creates an elliptic curve characteristic 2 finite field which has 2^m elements with normal basis.
Params:
  • m – with 2^m being the number of elements.
Throws:
/** * Creates an elliptic curve characteristic 2 finite * field which has 2^{@code m} elements with normal basis. * @param m with 2^{@code m} being the number of elements. * @exception IllegalArgumentException if {@code m} * is not positive. */

Creates an elliptic curve characteristic 2 finite field which has 2^m elements with polynomial basis. The reduction polynomial for this field is based on rp whose i-th bit corresponds to the i-th coefficient of the reduction polynomial.

Note: A valid reduction polynomial is either a trinomial (X^m + X^k + 1 with m > k >= 1) or a pentanomial (X^m + X^k3 + X^k2 + X^k1 + 1 with m > k3 > k2 > k1 >= 1).

Params:
  • m – with 2^m being the number of elements.
  • rp – the BigInteger whose i-th bit corresponds to the i-th coefficient of the reduction polynomial.
Throws:

Creates an elliptic curve characteristic 2 finite field which has 2^m elements with polynomial basis. The reduction polynomial for this field is based on ks whose content contains the order of the middle term(s) of the reduction polynomial. Note: A valid reduction polynomial is either a trinomial (X^m + X^k + 1 with m > k >= 1) or a pentanomial (X^m + X^k3 + X^k2 + X^k1 + 1 with m > k3 > k2 > k1 >= 1), so ks should have length 1 or 3.
Params:
  • m – with 2^m being the number of elements.
  • ks – the order of the middle term(s) of the reduction polynomial. Contents of this array are copied to protect against subsequent modification.
Throws:
