Detailed Description

some basic information about each field or ring.

It will try to take the information from the field when possible, and use defaults otherwise. maxModulus returns the greatest modulus that is usable for a given field, -1 for infinite. goodModulus returns takes an integer and returns true if that integer is a valid modulus for the given field. maxExponent and goodExponent do the same for the prime power.
