A GF(24m) Inverter and its Application in a Reconfigurable Tate Pairing Processor
Maurice Keller, Robert Ronan, William Peter Marnane, Colin C. Murphy · 2006
This paper details an architecture for performing inversion in the field GF(24m), which is the field used in computing the Tate pairing on characteristic 2 supersingular elliptic curves. The inverter architecture is then used to improve the performance of a reconfigurable Tate pairing hardware accelerator. Implementation results for the improved processor on an FPGA are presented and compared to those of the basic processor without the inverter
