# gfpy

This Python 3 code implements Galois field (finite field) arithmetic in pure Python,
leveraging Python's support for very long integers.

Because it's in pure Python, it's relatively slow --- don't use it for performance-critical
applications.
Instead, use it to _verify_ other implementations, or to understand how Galois field calculations work.
