This article is part of a series of hands-on tutorials introducing FFA, or the Finite Field Arithmetic library. FFA differs from the typical “Open Sores” abomination, in that — rather than trusting the author blindly with their lives — prospective users are expected to read and fully understand every single line. In exactly the same [...]

In addition to phf’s excellent vpatch viewer, there will now be a page, generated via gnathtml, to help the interested reader to explore the moving parts of FFA.
Click here to view Ch.11, with ffa_calc.adb as the root node.
All subsequent chapters will also be offered in this reader-friendly format, in addition to the usual raw vpatch [...]
This article is a continuation of the previous, and concludes the series.
Let’s try this somewhat different variant of the program, which represents recurring bits of the expansion symbolically (and in a slightly more readable form) [...]
This article is a continuation of the dig into the key schedule of the Serpent cipher.
For clarity, we will omit the routines already given in the previous article.
Let’s visualize the Serpent [...]
