Title
An efficient reconfigurable multiplier architecture for Galois field GF(2m)
Abstract
This paper describes an efficient architecture of a reconfigurable bit-serial polynomial basis multiplier for Galois field GF(2m), where 1<m≤M. The value m, of the irreducible polynomial degree, can be changed and so, can be configured and programmed. The value of M determines the maximum size that the multiplier can support. The advantages of the proposed architecture are (i) the high order of flexibility, which allows an easy configuration for different field sizes, and (ii) the low hardware complexity, which results in small area. By using the gated clock technique, significant reduction of the total multiplier power consumption is achieved.
