gf256 | A Rust library containing Galois-field types and utilities

gf256 is a Rust library. gf256 has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

A Rust library containing Galois-field types and utilities, leveraging hardware instructions when available. This project started as a learning project to learn more about these "Galois-field thingies" after seeing them pop up in far too many subjects. So this crate may be more educational than practical. If you, like me, are interested in learning more about the fascinating utility of Galois-fields, take a look at the documentation of gf256's modules. I've tried to comprehensively capture what I've learned, hopefully provided a decent entry point into learning more about this useful field of math. I also want to point out that the Rust examples in each module are completely functional and tested in CI thanks to Rust's doctest runner. Feel free to copy and tweak them to see what happens.
