What is this "finite field cryptography"? See RFC 5931 § 2.2.1 which talks about "finite field cryptography" as opposed to elliptic curve cryptography and it looks like it is describing the Diffie-Hellman protocol. But Diffie-Hellman is not a done over a finite field, so is this some different class of algorithm?
"Finite field cryptography" is fancy language for group-based cryptography done over the integers modulo a prime (instantiating a field) to distinguish this more "classic" approach from the new fancier elliptic curve cryptography.

Example:
Finite Field Diffie-Hellman: Diffie-Hellman done in $\mathbb F_p$.
