Abstract

We investigate low complexity normal bases in finite fields of the form F"2"^"n. First, we prove that if two normal elements have the same multiplication table, then they are conjugates. Then, we provide a partial converse to the known fact that if @a generates a Type I optimal normal basis in F"2"^"n, then its dual basis has complexity 3n-3. Finally, we determine the multiplication tables of low complexity normal elements that arise from products of normal elements in subfields of F"2"^"n.
