Rijndael Mix Columns

Rijndael Mix Columns

The MixColumns operation performed by the Rijndael cipher, along with the shift-rows step, is the primary source of diffusion in Rijndael. Each column is treated as a polynomial over GF(28) and is then multiplied modulo with a fixed polynomial ; the inverse of this polynomial is .

Famous quotes containing the words mix and/or columns:

    And would you be a poet
    Before you’ve been to school?
    Ah, well! I hardly thought you
    So absolute a fool.
    First learn to be spasmodic—
    A very simple rule.
    For first you write a sentence,
    And then you chop it small;
    Then mix the bits, and sort them out
    Just as they chance to fall:
    The order of the phrases makes
    No difference at all.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
    When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
