Calculation of 0x6f

m(x) = 0x11b = 100011011 = x^8 + x^4 + x^3 + x + 1
a(x) =   0x6f =  01101111 = x^6 + x^5 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1

m(x) = (x^2 + x + 1) * a(x) + (x^4 + x^2 + x)

Calculation of 0x6f^-1 in the finite field GF(2⁸)

00010110 = 00000001 * 100011011 + 00000111 * 1101111
00001101 = 00000111 * 100011011 + 00010100 * 1101111
00000001 = 00001000 * 100011011 + 00111011 * 1101111
00000000 = 01101111 * 100011011 + 100011011 * 1101111

a^-1(x) = x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x + 1 = 00111011 = 0x3b

The calculation of 0x6f^-1 is made with the Extended Euclidean algorithm. Instead of normal division and multiplication you need to use Polynomialdivision and Polynomialmultiplication.
