Efficient normal basis multipliers in composite fields
Dong Hyeon Cheon, Jongin Lim, Chang Han Kim, Sang-Ho Oh · IEEE Transactions on Computers · 2000
It is well-known that a class of finite fields GF(2/sup n/) using an optimal normal basis is most suitable for a hardware implementation of arithmetic in finite fields. In this paper, we introduce composite fields of some hardware-applicable properties resulting from the normal basis representation and the optimal condition. We also present a hardware architecture of the proposed composite fields including a bit-parallel multiplier.
