A general-purpose Galois field implementation.

# Galois

**version:** 0.0.1-beta

This library implements a general-purpose Galois Field, GF(2^8) aka 256,
commonly used in cryptographic applications such as AES and Shamir Secret Sharing.

I plan to add a GF(2^16) aka 65536 implementation in the future.

# Installation & Usage

```
npm i @zytekaron/galois
```

```ts
import {GF256, Polynomials, Generators} from "./gf256";

const gfAES = new GF256(); // defaults to AES polynomial and generator
const gfRS = new GF256(Polynomials.REED_SOLOMON, Generators.REED_SOLOMON);
```
