With public key methods we define a finite field, and where we constrain the range of integers by a prime number (\(p\)). This gives us a finite field of integers from 0 to \(p-1\). There are some fundamentals properties of rings which relate to the addition (\(+\)) and multiplication operator (\(\times\)). In the following we perform the operations in respect of a prime number (\(p\)):
