Finite field multiplication and division are important arithmetic operation in error-correcting codes and cryptosystems. The elements of the finite field GF($2^m$) are represented by bases with a primitive polynomial of degree m over GF(2). We can be easily realized for multiplication or computing multiplicative inverse in GF($2^m$) based on a normal basis representation. The number of product terms of logic function determines a complexity of the Messay-Omura multiplier. A normal basis exists for every finite field. It is not easy to find the optimal normal element for a given primitive polynomial. In this paper, the generating method of normal basis is investigated. The normal bases whose product terms are less than other bases for multiplication in GF($2^m$) are found. For each primitive polynomial, a list of normal elements and number of product terms are presented.

Cryptographic application and coding theory require operations in finite field $GF(2^m)$. In such a field, the area and time complexity of implementation estimate by memory and time delay. Therefore, the effort for constructing an efficient multiplier in finite field have been proceeded. Massey-Omura proposed a multiplier that uses normal bases to represent elements $CH(2^m)$ [11] and Agnew at al. suggested a sequential multiplier that is a modification of Massey-Omura's structure for reducing the path delay. Recently, Rayhani-Masoleh and Hasan and S.Kwon at al. suggested a area efficient multipliers for modifying Agnew's structure respectively[2,3]. In [2] Rayhani-Masoleh and Hasan proposed a modified multiplier that has slightly increased a critical path delay from Agnew at al's structure. But, In [3] S.Kwon at al. proposed a modified multiplier that has no loss of a time efficiency from Agnew's structure. In this paper we will propose a multiplier by modifying Rayhani-Masoleh and Hassan's structure and the area-time complexity of the proposed multiplier is exactly same as that of S.Kwon at al's structure for type-II optimal normal basis.

This paper presents new hardware implementation of the ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptography) algorithm that is improved in speed and stability. We proposed new datapath that changed square's position so that we can reduce required number of cycles for addition operation between two points by more than 30%. We used Massey-Omura parallel multiplier adopted Normal basis for fast scalar multiplications. Also the use of the window non-adjacent form (WNAF) method can reduce addition operation of each other different points. We implemented ECC system with GF($2^{196}$), and this system was designed and verified by VHDL.

GF(2m) 이론은 switching 이론과 컴퓨터 연산, 오류 정정 부호(error correcting codes), 암호학(cryptography) 등에 대한 폭넓은 응용 때문에 주목을 받아 왔다. 특히 유한체에서의 이산 대수(discrete logarithm)는 one-way 함수의 대표적인 예로서 Massey-Omura Scheme을 비롯한 여러 암호에서 사용하고 있다. 이러한 암호 system에서는 암호화 시간을 동일하게 두면 고속 연산은 유한체의 크기를 크게 할 수 있어 비도(crypto-degree)를 향상시킨다. 따라서 고속 연산의 필요성이 요구된다. 1981년 Massey와 Omura가 정규기저(normal basis)를 이용한 고속 연산 방법을 제시한 이래 Wang, Troung 둥 여러 사람이 이 방법의 구현(implementation) 및 곱셈기(Multiplier)의 설계에 힘써왔다. 1988년 Itoh와 Tsujii는 국제 정보 학회에서 유한체의 역원을 구하는 획기적인 방법을 제시했다. 1987년에 H, W. Lenstra와 Schoof는 유한체의 임의의 확대체는 원시정규기저(primitive normal basis)를 갖는다는 것을 증명하였다. 1991년 Stepanov와 Shparlinskiy는 유한체에서의 원시원소(primitive element), 정규기저를 찾는 고속 연산 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 이 논문에서는 원시 정규기저를 찾는 Algorithm을 구현(Implementation)하고 이것이 응용되는 문제들에 관해서 연구했다.

Finite field arithmetic is very important in the area of cryptographic applications and coding theory, and it is efficient to use normal bases in hardware implementation. Using the fact that $GF(2^{mk})$ having a type-I optimal normal basis becomes the extension field of $GF(2^m)$, we, in this paper, propose a new serial multiplier which reduce the critical XOR path delay of the best known Reyhani-Masoleh and Hasan's serial multiplier by 25% and the number of XOR gates of Kwon et al.'s multiplier by 2 based on the Reyhani-Masoleh and Hasan's serial multiplier for type-I optimal normal basis.

Utilizing dual basis, normal basis, and subfield representation, three different finite field multipliers are presented in this paper. First, we propose an extended dual basis multiplier based on Berlekamp's bit-serial multiplication algorithm. Second, a detailed explanation and design of the Massey-Omura multiplier based on a normal basis representation is described. Third, the multiplication algorithm over GF(($2^{n}$) utilizing subfield is proposed. Especially, three different multipliers are designed over the finite field GF(($2^{4}$) and the complexity of each multiplier is compared with that of others. As a result of comparison, we recognize that the extendd dual basis multiplier requires the smallest number of gates, whereas the subfield multiplier, due to its regularity, simplicity, and modularlity, is easier to implement than the others with respect to higher($m{\ge}8$) order and m/2 subfield order.

The normal basis has the advantage that the result of squaring an element is simply the right cyclic shift of its coordinates in hardware implementation over finite fields. In particular, the optimal normal basis is the most efficient to hardware implementation over finite fields. In this paper, we propose an efficient parallel architecture which transforms the Gaussian normal basis multiplication in GF($2^m$) into the type-I optimal normal basis multiplication in GF($2^{mk}$), which is based on the palindromic representation of polynomials.

Elliptic curve cryptosystem(ECC) offers the highest security per bit among the known publick key system. The benefit of smaller key size makes ECC particularly attractive for embedded applications since its implementation requires less memory and processing power. In this paper, we propose a new multiplier structure with configurable output sizes and operation cycles. The number of output bits can be freely chosen in the new architecture with the performance-area trade-off depending on the application. Using the architecture, a 193-bit normal basis multiplier and inversion unit are designed in GF(2$^{m}$ ). It is implemented using HDL and 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology and the operation is verified by simulation.
