Abstract
In this paper, a multiplication algorithm in extension field F pm is proposed. Different from the previous works, the proposed algorithm can be applied for an arbitrary pair of characteristic p and extension degree m only except for the case when 4p divides m(p-1) and m is an even number. As written in the title, when p > m, 4p does not divide m(p - 1). The proposed algorithm is derived by modifying cyclic vector multiplication algorithm (CVMA). We adopt a special class of Gauss period normal bases. At first in this paper, it is formulated as an algorithm and the calculation cost of the modified algorithm is evaluated. Then, compared to those of the previous works, some experimental results are shown. Finally, it is shown that the proposed algorithm is sufficient practical when extension degree m is small.
