Efficient Design of Low-Complexity Bit-Parallel Systolic Hankel Multipliers to Implement Multiplication in Normal and Dual Bases of GF (2m)

Normal and dual bases are two popular representation bases for elements in GF(2m). In general, each distinct representation basis has its associated different hardware architecture. In this paper, we will present a unified systolic array multiplication architecture for both normal and dual bases, such a unified multiplication architecture is termed a Hankel multiplier. The Hankel multiplier has lower space complexity while compared with other existing normal basis multipliers and dual basis multipliers.
