Are Galois Fields (I only need binary GFs) supported by any publicly available Ada library?
Thanks

Mats Weber's Ada component library contains some kind of Galois field
packages. I've never used these Galois packages, but I have used other
parts of the library successfully. According to Google, the library
should be at
mats.weber.org/ada/mw_components.html
but at the moment this URL does not work for me. If you cannot find the
library on the web, you can get a copy from me. The two Galois packages
seem to be rather independent of the rest of the library (which contains
95 other packages).

I have a GF binary library that I wrote for myself in my early Ada days. It is a generic package that you must instantiate with the desired GF size (up to 2^64, so it fits in a 64-bit integer).
Unfortunately I did not publish the code by itself, but you can find it "embedded" in an old (and, alas, sleeping) project of mine hosted on launchpad. Just go here
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~riccardo-bernardini/+junk/pre-ppetp/files/head:/src/lib/Algebra/Galois/
(or here: http://bit.ly/1gOe996 if the URL above is too long) and take the two files gf_2p_varsize.{ads, adb}. You just need to instantiate it with something like
package GF32 is
new Gf_2p_Varsize(Exponent => 32,
Basic_Type => Unsigned_32);
and then use it like
X, Y, Z : GF32.Galois;
X = Y * Z;
Disclaimer: As I said, I wrote this package in my early Ada days, so maybe it is not the most elegant code around, but it works...
Should you decide to use it and have any question, please ask.
