The length block consists of 64-bit lengths(in bits) of AAD and ciphertext. +$H$ called the hash key, is the encryption of 128-bit of zeros using the chosen cipher and key. The interesting thing to note here is that the multiplication($*$) and addition($\oplus$) are operations of the Galois(finite) field of order $2^{128}$. A brief summary of finite field arithmetic,
