Abstract

We construct two new families of basis for finite field extensions. Bases in the first family, the so-called elliptic bases, are not quite normal bases, but they allow very fast Frobenius exponentiation while preserving sparse multiplication formulas. Bases in the second family, the so-called normal elliptic bases are normal bases and allow fast (quasi-linear) arithmetic. We prove that all extensions admit models of this kind.
