D.10.2.11 genMDSMat

Procedure from library decodegb.lib (see decodegb_lib).

Usage:
genMDSMat(n, a); n is int, a is number
 
        - n x n are dimensions of the MDS matrix,
        - a is a primitive element of the field.

Note:
An MDS matrix is constructed in the following way. We take 'a' to be a generator of the multiplicative group of the field. Then we construct the Vandermonde matrix with this 'a'.

Assume:
extension field should already be defined

Return:
a matrix with the MDS property.

Example:
 
LIB "decodegb.lib";
int q=16; int n=15;
ring r=(q,a),x,dp;
//generate an MDS (Vandermonde) matrix
matrix h_full=genMDSMat(n,a);
print(h_full);
