Abstract

Three different finite-field multipliers are presented: (1) a dual-basis multiplier due to E.R. Berlekamp (1982); the Massey-Omura normal basis multiplier; and (3) the Scott-Tavares-Peppard standard basis multiplier. These algorithms are chosen because each has its own distinct features that apply most suitably in particular areas. They are implemented on silicon chips with NMOS technology so that the multiplier most desirable for VLSI implementation can readily be ascertained.
