In this session we will be looking at abstract algebra basics needed for understanding Advance Encryption Standard - AES 1. Groups 2. Rings 3. Fields 4. Finite Fields
Hi may i ask when you are checking for whether z%2 is a field, what happens when you add two expressions that each come to 1. eg 3mod2+4mod2=1+1 = 2 or 10?
In abstract algebra ops could be anything so say if we take natural numbers n subtraction op, it won't be closed under 2-5=-3 so it won't even be a group?
Very nice overview professor, thank you. Some remarks: (1) in the field example (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TPW4_Z5kiRw.html) you mention that it is commutative. How is that relevant, provided that on ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TPW4_Z5kiRw.html you say a ring does not need to be commutative, and a later that a field is an extension of a ring and you do not mention commutativity at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TPW4_Z5kiRw.html? (2) minor but at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TPW4_Z5kiRw.html a typo: 'P (uppercase) ... where p (lowercase) is'.
