Poised to become the leading reference in the field, this definitive handbook is exclusively devoted to the theory and applications of finite fields. Edited by two renowned researchers and with more than 80 international contributors compiling state-of-the-art research, the book uses a uniform style and format throughout and each chapter is self contained and peer reviewed. The handbook provides a comprehensive index and easy access to over 3,000 references, enabling readers to quickly locate up-to-date facts and results regarding finite fields.

Offers an introduction to the theory of finite fields and to some of their many practical applications. After covering their construction and elementary properties, the authors discuss the trace and norm functions, bases for finite fields, and properties of polynomials over finite fields. Each of the remaining chapters details applications.
