GFpInv

Computes the multiplicative inverse of an element of the finite field.

Syntax

IppStatus ippsGFpInv(const IppsGFpElement* pA, IppsGFpElement* pR, IppsGFpState* pGFp);

Include Files

ippcp.h

Parameters

pA

Pointer to the context of the finite field element.

pR

Pointer to the context of the resulting element of the finite field.

pGFp

Pointer to the context of the finite field.

Description

This function computes the multiplicative inverse of an element of the finite field. The following pseudocode represents this operation: R A = 1. The finite field is specified by the context pGFp.

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 any of the IppsGFpState and IppsGFpElement context parameters does not match the operation.

ippStsOutOfRangeErr

Indicates an error condition if the element pA does not belong to the finite field specified by the context pGFp.

ippStsDivByZeroErr

Indicates an error condition if pA is the zero element.

ippStsBadArgErr

Indicates an error condition if a computational error occurs.
