An architecture for computing Zech's logarithms in GF(2/sup m/)
Francisco de Assis, Carlos Eduardo Pedreira · IEEE Transactions on Computers · 2000
In this paper, a new method for calculation of Zech's logarithm in GF(2/sup m/) is presented. For a given element, the logarithm is calculated by bit operations performed on its binary representation. No look-up tables are used. The proposed method makes feasible the implementation of an universal-type device for finite field arithmetic.
