Abstract

In this paper, we derive a recursive algorithm for finite field multiplication over GF(2m) based on irreducible all-one-polynomials (AOP), where the modular reduction of degree is achieved by cyclic-left-shift without any logic operations. A regular and localized bit-level dependence graph (DG) is derived from the proposed algorithm and mapped into an array architecture, where the modular reduction is achieved by a serial-in parallel-out shift-register. The multiplier is optimized further to perform the accumulation of partial products by the T flip flops of the output register without XOR gates. It is interesting to note that the optimized structure consists of an array of (m+1) AND gates between an array of (m+1) D flip flops and an array of (m+1) T flip flops. The proposed structure therefore involves significantly less area and less computation time compared with the corresponding existing structures.
