Abstract
This last chapter is devoted to illustrating Galois Fields possibilities in cryptography. Thus, as an example, two cryptographic applications of the circuits described in previous chapters are presented. Nowadays, cryptographic applications are becoming more and more important in communications, especially when using public channels such as Internet. The different standards available are usually software implemented, but in the following faster hardware implementations are described. First Section introduces general concepts about cryptography, while the second one presents the discrete logarithm based cryptosystems. The third one describes elliptic curve cryptosystems.
