3X Serial GF(2$^m$) Multiplier on Polynomial Basis

With an increasing importance of the information security issues, the efficienct calculation process in terms of finite field level is becoming more important in the Elliptic curve cryptosystems. Serial multiplication architectures are based on the Mastrovito's serial multiplier structure. In this paper, we manipulate the numerical expressions so that we could suggest a 3-times as fast as (3x) the Mastrovito's multiplier using the polynomial basis. The architecture was implemented with HDL, to be evaluated and verified with EDA tools. The implemented 3x GF (Galois Field) multiplier showed 3 times calculation speed as fast as the Mastrovito's, only with the additional partial-sum generation processing unit.
