This paper presents a digit-serial/parallel multiplier for finite fields GF(2m). The hardware requirements of the implemented multiplier are less than those of the existing multiplier of the same class, while processing time and area complexity. The implemented multiplier possesses the features of regularity and modularity. Thus, it is well suited to VLSI implementation. If the implemented digit-serial multiplier chooses the digit size D appropriately, it can meet the throughput requirement of a certain application with minimum hardware. The multipliers and squarers analyzed in this paper can be used efficiently for crypto processor in Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem.

In this paper, an efficient architecture for the ECC multiplier in GF(2") is proposed. We give a design example for the irreducible trinomials $x_{193}\;+\;x_{15}\;+\;1$. In hardware implementations, it is often desirable to use the irreducible trinomial equations. A digit-serial multiplier with a digit size of 32 is proposed, which has more advantages than the 193bit serial LFSR architecture. The proposed multiplier is verified with a VHDL description using an elliptic curve addition. The elliptic curve used in this implementation is defined by Weierstrass equations. The measured results show that the proposed multiplier it 0.3 times smaller than the bit-serial LFSR multiplier.lier.

In this paper, a new architecture for digit-parallel/bit-serial GF($2^m$) multiplier with low complexity is proposed. The proposed multiplier operates in polynomial basis of GF($2^m$) and produces multiplication results at a rate of one per D clock cycles, where D is the selected digit size. The digit-parallel/bit-serial multiplier is faster than bit-serial ones but with lower area complexity than bit-parallel ones. The most significant feature of the digit-parallel/bit-serial architecture is that a trade-off between hardware complexity and delay time can be achieved. But the traditional digit-parallel/bit-serial multiplier needs extra hardware for high speed. In this paper a new low complexity efficient digit-parallel/bit-serial multiplier is presented.

Efficient finite field operation in the elliptic curve (EC) public key cryptography algorithm, which attracts much of latest issues in the applications in information security, is very important. Traditional serial finite multipliers root from Mastrovito's serial multiplication architecture. In this paper, we adopt the polynomial basis and propose a new finite field multiplier, inducing numerical expressions which can be applied to exhibit 3 times as much performance as the Mastrovito's. We described the proposed multiplier with HDL to verify and evaluate as a proper hardware IP. HDL-implemented serial GF (Galois field) multiplier showed 3 times as fast speed as the traditional serial multiplier's adding only partial-sum block in the hardware. So far, there have been grossly 3 types of studies on GF($2^m$) multiplier architecture, such as serial multiplication, array multiplication, and hybrid multiplication. In this paper, we propose a novel approach on developing serial multiplier architecture based on Mastrovito's, by modifying the numerical formula of the polynomial-basis serial multiplication. The proposed multiplier architecture was described and implemented in HDL so that the novel architecture was simulated and verified in the level of hardware as well as software.

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.

In this paper, a new architecture for fast-serial $GF(2^m)$ multiplier with low hardware complexity is proposed. The fast-serial multiplier operates standard basis of $GF(2^m)$ and is faster than bit serial ones but with lower area complexity than bit parallel ones. The most significant feature of the fast-serial architecture is that a trade-off between hardware complexity and delay time can be achieved. But The traditional fast-serial architecture needs extra (t-1)m registers for achieving the t times speed. In this paper a new fast-serial multiplier without increasing the number of registers is presented.

Using good properties of an optimal normal basis of type I in a finite field ${\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}$, we present a design of a bit serial multiplier of Berlekamp type, which is very effective in computing $xy^2$. It is shown that our multiplier does not need a basis conversion process and a squaring operation is a simple permutation in our basis. Therefore our multiplier provides a fast and an efficient hardware architecture for a bit serial multiplication of two elements in ${\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}$.

In this paper, The GF(216) multiplier using its subfields GF(24) is designed. This design can be used to construct a sequential logic multiplier using a bit-parallel multiplier for its subfield. A finite field serial multiplier using parallel multiplier of subfield takes a less time than serial multiplier and a smaller complexity than parallel multiplier. It has an advatageous feature. A feature between circuit complexity and delay time is compared and simulated using C language.

In this paper, the method which improves the performance of a serial decimal multiplier, and the method which operates multiple-digit simultaneously are proposed. The proposed serial decimal multiplier reduces the delay by removing encoding module that generates 2X, 4X multiples, and by generating partial product using shift operation. Also, this multiplier reduces the number of operations using multiple-digit operation. In order to estimate the performance of the proposed multiplier, we synthesized the proposed multiplier with design compiler with SMIC 110nm CMOS library. Synthesis results show that the area of the proposed serial decimal multiplier is increased by 4%, but the delay is reduced by 5% compared to existing serial decimal multiplier. In addition, the trade off between area and latency with respect to the number of concurrent operations in the proposed multiple-digit multiplier is confirmed.
