In this paper we present a new high-speed parallel multiplier for Performing the bit-parallel multiplication of two polynomials in the finite fields $GF(2^m)$. Prior to construct the multiplier circuits, we consist of the MOD operation part to generate the result of bit-parallel multiplication with one coefficient of a multiplicative polynomial after performing the parallel multiplication of a multiplicand polynomial with a irreducible polynomial. The basic cells of MOD operation part have two AND gates and two XOR gates. Using these MOD operation parts, we can obtain the multiplication results performing the bit-parallel multiplication of two polynomials. Extending this process, we show the design of the generalized circuits for degree m and a simple example of constructing the multiplier circuit over finite fields $GF(2^4)$. Also, the presented multiplier is simulated by PSpice. The multiplier presented in this paper use the MOD operation parts with the basic cells repeatedly, and is easy to extend the multiplication of two polynomials in the finite fields with very large degree m, and is suitable to VLSI. Also, since this circuit has a low propagation delay time generated by the gates during operating process because of not use the memory elements in the inside of multiplier circuit, this multiplier circuit realizes a high-speed operation.

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.

This paper presents a scalable dual-field Montgomery multiplier based on a new multi-precision carry save adder(MP-CSA), which operates in both types of finite fields GF(p) and GF($2^m$). The new MP-CSA consists of two carry save adders(CSA). Each CSA is composed of n = [w/b] carry propagation adders(CPA) for a modular multiplication with w-bit words, where b is the number of dual field adders(DFA) in a CPA. The proposed Montgomery multiplier has roughly the same timing complexity compared with the previous result, however, it has the advantage of reduced chip area requirements. In addition, the proposed circuit produces the exact modular multiplication result at the end of operation unlike the previous architecture. Furthermore, the proposed Montgomery multiplier has a high scalability in terms of w and m. Therefore, it can be used to multiplier over GF(p) and GF($2^m$) for cryptographic applications.

Many cryptographic and error control coding algorithms rely on finite field GF(2m) arithmetic. Hardware implementation of these algorithms needs an efficient realization of finite field arithmetic operations. Finite field multiplication is complicated among the basic operations, and it is employed in field exponentiation and division operations. Various algorithms and architectures are proposed in the literature for hardware implementation of finite field multiplication to achieve a reduction in area and delay. In this paper, a low area and delay efficient semi-systolic multiplier over finite fields GF(2m) using the modified Montgomery modular multiplication (MMM) is presented. The least significant bit (LSB)-first multiplication and two-level parallel computing scheme are considered to improve the cell delay, latency, and area-time (AT) complexity. The proposed method has the features of regularity, modularity, and unidirectional data flow and offers a considerable improvement in AT complexity compared with related multipliers. The proposed multiplier can be used as a kernel circuit for exponentiation/division and multiplication.

In this paper, we present two systolic arrays for computing multiplications in CF(2$\^$m/) generated by an irreducible all one polynomial (AOP). The proposed two systolic mays have parallel-in parallel-out structure. The first systolic multiplier has area complexity of O(㎡) and time complexity of O(1). In other words, the multiplier consists of m(m+1)/2 identical cells and produces multiplication results at a rate of one every 1 clock cycle, after an initial delay of m/2+1 cycles. Compared with the previously proposed related multiplier using AOP, our design has 12 percent reduced hardware complexity and 50 percent reduced computation delay time. The other systolic multiplier, designed for cryptographic applications, has area complexity of O(m) and time complexity of O(m), i.e., it is composed of m+1 identical cells and produces multiplication results at a rate of one every m/2+1 clock cycles. Compared with other linear systolic multipliers, we find that our design has at least 43 percent reduced hardware complexity, 83 percent reduced computation delay time, and has twice higher throughput rate Furthermore, since the proposed two architectures have a high regularity and modularity, they are well suited to VLSI implementations. Therefore, when the proposed architectures are used for GF(2$\^$m/) applications, one can achieve maximum throughput performance with least hardware requirements.

In this paper, an efficient digit-serial systolic array is proposed for multiplication in finite field GF($2^m$) using the polynomial basis representation. The proposed systolic array is based on the most significant digit first (MSD-first) multiplication algorithm and produces multiplication results at a rate of one every "m/D" clock cycles, where D is the selected digit size. Since the inner structure of the proposed multiplier is tree-type, critical path increases logarithmically proportional to D. Therefore, the computation delay of the proposed architecture is significantly less than previously proposed digit-serial systolic multipliers whose critical path increases proportional to D. Furthermore, since the new architecture has the features of a high regularity, modularity, and unidirectional data flow, it is well suited to VLSI implementation.

In this contributions, we propose a new MSB(most significant bit) algorithm based on AOP(All One Polynomial) and two parallel semi-systolic architectures to computes $AB^2$over finite field $GF(2^m)$. The proposed architectures are based on standard basis and use the property of irreducible AOP(All One Polynomial) which is all coefficients of 1. The proposed parallel semi-systolic architecture(PSM) has the critical path of $D_{AND2^+}D_{XOR2}$ per cell and the latency of m+1. The modified parallel semi-systolic architecture(WPSM) has the critical path of $D_{XOR2}$ per cell and has the same latency with PSM. The proposed two architectures, PSM and MPSM, have a low latency and a small hardware complexity compared to the previous architectures. They can be used as a basic architecture for exponentiation, division, and inversion. Since the proposed architectures have regularity, modularity and concurrency, they are suitable for VLSI implementation. They can be used as a basic architecture for algorithms, such as the Diffie-Hellman key exchange scheme, the Digital Signature Algorithm(DSA), and the ElGamal encryption scheme which are needed exponentiation operation. The application of the algorithms can be used cryptosystem implementation based on elliptic curve.
