Sage code for finding generator matrix of MDS code
Let $L$ be an $[n,k]$ code. A $k\times n$ matrix $G$ whose rows form a basis for $L$ is called a generator matrix for $L$.
A linear $[n,k,d]$ code with largest possible minimum distance is called maximum distance $d$ separable or MDS code.

Changing Field of MDS Matrix Multiplication
Assume we have an $n \times n$ MDS matrix, whose entries are among $m \times m$ binary matrices. Can we see this matrix as a $n \times n$ matrix with entries from $GF(2^m)$? How can we replace this matrix with AES's MixColumn matrix? Also is it the other way around possible?
