Finite field — In abstract algebra, a finite field or Galois field (so named in honor of Évariste Galois) is a field that contains only finitely many elements. Finite fields are important in number theory, algebraic geometry, Galois theory, cryptography, and… … Wikipedia
Finite field arithmetic — Arithmetic in a finite field is different from standard integer arithmetic. There are a limited number of elements in the finite field; all operations performed in the finite field result in an element within that field.While each finite field is … Wikipedia
Finite state machine — A finite state machine (FSM) or finite state automaton (plural: automata ) or simply a state machine, is a model of behavior composed of a finite number of states, transitions between those states, and actions. A finite state machine is an… … Wikipedia
Representation theory of finite groups — In mathematics, representation theory is a technique for analyzing abstract groups in terms of groups of linear transformations. See the article on group representations for an introduction. This article discusses the representation theory of… … Wikipedia
Quasi-finite field — In mathematics, a quasi finite field is a generalisation of a finite field. Standard local class field theory usually deals with complete fields whose residue field is finite , but the theory applies equally well when the residue field is only… … Wikipedia
Hardware random number generator — This SSL Accelerator computer card uses a hardware random number generator to generate cryptographic keys to encrypt data sent over computer networks. In computing, a hardware random number generator is an apparatus that generates random numbers… … Wikipedia
magnetohydrodynamic power generator — ▪ physics Introduction any of a class of devices that generate electric power by means of the interaction of a moving fluid (usually an ionized gas or plasma) and a magnetic field. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power plants offer the potential… … Universalium
Pseudorandom number generator — A pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), also known as a deterministic random bit generator (DRBG),[1] is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers that approximates the properties of random numbers. The sequence is not truly random in… … Wikipedia
Primitive element (finite field) — In field theory, a branch of mathematics, a primitive element of a finite field GF ( q ) is a generator of the multiplicative group of the field, which is necessarily cyclic. The minimal polynomial of a primitive element is a primitive polynomial … Wikipedia
