Section 2.,1st para says:
Throughout this memo, let p > 3 be a prime and GF(p) a finite field | (sometimes also referred to as Galois Field or GF(p)) with p elements. [...]
It should say:
Throughout this memo, let p > 3 be a prime and GF(p) a finite field | (sometimes also referred to as Galois Field or F_p) with p elements. [...] or perhaps more precisely: Throughout this memo, let p > 3 be a prime and GF(p) a finite field | (Galois Field) with p elements (sometimes also referred to as F_p). [...]
Notes:
Rationale:
... GF(p) ... sometimes also referred to as ... GF(p) ...
does no make sense.
The original version from the draft did make sense -- mentioning
_another_ common notion, "F_p".
