This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on the Arithmetic of Finite Field, WAIFI 2018, held in Bergen, Norway, in June 2018. The 14 revised full papers and six invited talks presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on invited talks; elliptic curves; hardware implementations; arithmetic and applications of finite fields and cryptography.
