Consider the polynomial f(x) = x ^4 + x ^3 + x ^2 + x + 1 with roots in GF(256). Let b be a root of f(x), i.e., f(b) = 0.
The other roots are b^ 2 , b^4 , b^8 .
e) Write b 4 as a combination of smaller powers of b.
Prove that b 5 = 1. f) Given that b 5 = 1 and the factorization of 255, determine r such that b = α r
