Questions tagged [finite-field]
A finite field is a mathematical construct based on a set of axioms which are held to be true. A number of interesting and useful properties arise from finite fields that makes them particularly suitable for use in cryptography, notably in block ciphers. Questions concerning finite fields should use this tag. Your question may concern finite fields if you are asking about AES, block ciphers or modular arithmetic.

GCM with reversed poly
These slides talk about how GCM can be sped up if one uses $x^{128}+x^{127}+x^{126}+x^{121}+1$ as the reduction polynomial instead of $x^{128}+x^7+x^2+x^1+1$.
When one is doing that one needs to ...
