Class GF2mVector

java.lang.Object
  org.bouncycastle.pqc.math.linearalgebra.Vector
      org.bouncycastle.pqc.math.linearalgebra.GF2mVector

public class GF2mVector
extends Vector

This class implements vectors over the finite field GF(2^m) for small m (i.e., 1<m<32). It extends the abstract class Vector.

Constructor Detail

GF2mVector

public GF2mVector(GF2mField field,
                  byte[] v)

creates the vector over GF(2^m) of given length and with elements from array v (beginning at the first bit)

Parameters:

field - finite field

v - array with elements of vector

GF2mVector

public GF2mVector(GF2mField field,
                  int[] vector)

Create a new vector over GF(2^m) of the given length and element array.

Parameters:

field - the finite field GF(2^m)

vector - the element array

GF2mVector

public GF2mVector(GF2mVector other)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:

other - another GF2mVector

Method Detail

getField

public GF2mField getField()

Returns:

the finite field this vector is defined over

getIntArrayForm

public int[] getIntArrayForm()

Returns:

int[] form of this vector

getEncoded

public byte[] getEncoded()

Specified by:

getEncoded in class Vector

Returns:

a byte array encoding of this vector

isZero

public boolean isZero()

Description copied from class: Vector

Return whether this is the zero vector (i.e., all elements are zero).

Specified by:

isZero in class Vector

Returns:

whether this is the zero vector (i.e., all elements are zero)

add

public Vector add(Vector addend)

Add another vector to this vector. Method is not yet implemented.

Specified by:

add in class Vector

Parameters:

Returns:

this + addend

Throws:

java.lang.ArithmeticException - if the other vector is not defined over the same field as this vector.

TODO: implement this method

multiply

public Vector multiply(Permutation p)

Multiply this vector with a permutation.

Specified by:

multiply in class Vector

Parameters:

p - the permutation

Returns:

this*p = p*this

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Specified by:

equals in class Vector

Parameters:

other - the other object

Returns:

the result of the comparison

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in class Vector

Returns:

the hash code of this vector

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Specified by:

toString in class Vector
