Secondly we remember that polynomial arithmetic is done modulo 2

Secondly we remember that polynomial arithmetic is done modulo 2

This means that there are no carries for addition or borrows for subtraction i.e. both operations are equivalent to XOR

For example

10011011 and 11110000

+ 11001010 - 10100110

01010001 01010110
