J K M Sadique Uz Zaman, Sankhanil Dey, Ranjan Ghosh . An Algorithm to Find the Irreducible Polynomials Over Galois Field GF(pm). International Journal of Computer Applications. 109, 15 ( January 2015), 24-29. DOI=10.5120/19266-1012
Irreducible Polynomials over GF(pm) and the multiplicative inverses under it are important in cryptography. Presently the method of deriving irreducible polynomials of a particular prime modulus is very primitive and time consuming. In this paper, in order to find all irreducible polynomials, be it monic or non-monic, of all prime moduli p with all its order m, a fast deterministic computer algorithm based on an algebraic method producing a (m×m) matrix is proposed. The maximum number of terms in each column of the matrix is 2j where j is the column index.
