Siyuan Lin, Shan He, Xin Guo, Donghui Guo · 2017

Modular inversion is the most complicated operation in elliptic curve cryptography(ECC). Based on the Extended Euclidean Algorithm(EEA), this paper presents a modified modular division algorithm in the binary finite field GF(2m). Furthermore, this paper designs a hardware implementation to verify the algorithm's performance with Verilog HDL, we also simulate it in GF(2m) to compare with other algorithms on clock cycles consumption.
