The divide-and-conquer method is efficiently used in parallel multiplier over finite field $GF(2^n)$. Leone Proposed optimal stop condition for iteration of Karatsuba-Ofman algerian(KOA). Ernst et al. suggested Multi-Segment Karatsuba(MSK) method. In this paper, we analyze the complexity of a parallel MSK multiplier based on the method. We propose a new parallel MSK multiplier whose space complexity is same to each other. Additionally, we propose optimal stop condition for iteration of the new MSK method. In some finite fields, our proposed multiplier is more efficient than the KOA.

In this paper we propose the Modified Karatsuba-Ofman algorithm for polynomial multiplication to polynomials of arbitrary degree. Leone proposed optimal stop condition for iteration of Karatsuba-Ofman algorithm(KO). In this paper, we propose a Non-Redundant Karatsuba-Ofman algorithm (NRKOA) with removing redundancy operations, and design a parallel hardware architecture based on the proposed algorithm. Comparing with existing related Karatsuba architectures with the same time complexity, the proposed architecture reduces the area complexity. Furthermore, the space complexity of the proposed multiplier is reduced by 43% in the best case.

For an efficient implementation of cryptosystems based on arithmetic in a finite field $GF(2^n)$, their hardware implementation is an important research topic. To construct a multiplier with low area complexity, the divide-and-conquer technique such as the original Karatsuba-Ofman method and multi-segment Karatsuba methods is a useful method. Leone proposed an efficient parallel multiplier with low area complexity, and Ernst at al. proposed a multiplier of a multi-segment Karatsuba method. In [1], the authors proposed new $MSK_5$ and $MSK_7$ methods with low area complexity to improve Ernst's method. In [3], the authors proposed a method which combines $MSK_2$ and $MSK_3$. In this paper we propose an efficient multiplication method by combining $MSK_2,\;MSK_3\;and\;MSK_5$ together. The proposed method reduces $116{\cdot}3^l$ gates and $2T_X$ time delay compared with Gather's method at the degree $25{\cdot}2^l-2^l with l>0.

XTR is a new method to represent elements of a subgroup of a multiplicative group of a finite field GF( $p^{6m}$) and it can be generalized to the field GF( $p^{6m}$)$^{[6,9]}$ This paper progress optimal extention fields for XTR among Galois fields GF ( $p^{6m}$) which can be aplied to XTR. In order to select such fields, we introduce a new notion of Generalized Opitimal Extention Fields(GOEFs) and suggest a condition of prime p, a defining polynomial of GF( $p^{2m}$) and a fast method of multiplication in GF( $p^{2m}$) to achieve fast finite field arithmetic in GF( $p^{2m}$). From our implementation results, GF( $p^{36}$ )longrightarrowGF( $p^{12}$ ) is the most efficient extension fields for XTR and computing Tr( $g^{n}$ ) given Tr(g) in GF( $p^{12}$ ) is on average more than twice faster than that of the XTR system on Pentium III/700MHz which has 32-bit architecture.$^{［6,10］/ ［6,10］/6,10］}$
