Tracking gf2x from https://gforge.inria.fr/projects/gf2x/

This package contains routines for fast arithmetic in GF(2)[x] (multiplication, squaring, gcd).

What is this?

This is a verbatin, unmodified copy of gf2x from Inria.

Authors: Richard Brent, Pierrick Gaudry, Emmanuel Thomé, Paul Zimmermann.

Currently tracked version: gf2x-1.2.tar.gz (2017-07-03 14:28, 690 KiB)

Reasons for this repository

As far as I know, gf2x isn't officially released on github.

Use this repository if you wish to add gf2x as an external dependency to your project with "git submodule add".

Typical use case: use with Victor Shoup's NTL library.

Of course, you can alternatively simply fetch gf2x-1.2.tar.gz from the official download page and drop it right into your source tree, if you prefer not to trust this repository.

These are the only changes I've made to the contents of the official tar ball:

  • renamed README to README.gf2x
  • added this README.md file
  • added the file LICENCE, copied verbatim from the beginning of REAME(.gf2x)
