GFMul

Multiplies two elements of a finite field.

Syntax

IppStatus ippsGFMul_8u(Ipp8u gfeA, Ipp8u gfeB, Ipp8u* pR, const IppsGFSpec_8u* pGF);

Parameters

gfeA	The first (multiplicand) element of the finite field.
gfeB	The second (multiplier) element of the finite field.
pR	Pointer to the result of multiplication.
pGF	Pointer to the context of the finite field.

Description

This function is declared in the ippdi.h file. The function performs multiplication over the finite field. The following pseudocode represents this function, provided gfeR is the result of the operation:

gfeR = gfeA * gfeB.

Return Values

ippStsNoErr	Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or warning.
ippStsNullPtrErr	Indicates an error condition if any of the specified pointers is NULL.
ippStsContextMatchErr	Indicates an error condition if the context pointed by pGF is not valid.
ippStsRangeErr	Indicates an error condition if gfeA and/or gfeB is (are) not valid element(s) of the finite field.
