Calculation of 0xfd

m(x) = 0x11b = 100011011 = x^8 + x^4 + x^3 + x + 1
a(x) =   0xfd =  11111101 = x^7 + x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + 1

m(x) = (x + 1) * a(x) + (x^4 + x^3 + x^2)

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

00011100 = 00000001 * 100011011 + 00000011 * 11111101
00000001 = 00001001 * 100011011 + 00011010 * 11111101
00000000 = 11111101 * 100011011 + 100011011 * 11111101

a^-1(x) = x^4 + x^3 + x = 00011010 = 0x1a

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