Galois Field Arithmetic vs Modular Arithmetic
Developers should learn Galois Field Arithmetic when working on systems requiring high reliability and security, such as in cryptography for algorithms like AES and elliptic curve cryptography, or in data storage and transmission for error correction in RAID systems, QR codes, and Reed-Solomon codes meets developers should learn modular arithmetic for tasks involving cyclic patterns, hashing algorithms, and cryptographic systems like rsa and diffie-hellman. Here's our take.
