Abstract

We introduce a new class of irreducible pentanomials over F2 of the form f(x) = x2 b + c+ xb + c+ xb+ xc+ 1. Let m= 2 b+ c and use f to define the finite field extension of degree m. We give the exact number of operations required for computing the reduction modulo f. We also provide a multiplier based on Karatsuba algorithm in F2[x] combined with our reduction process. We give the total cost of the multiplier and found that the bit-parallel multiplier defined by this new class of polynomials has improved XOR and AND complexity. Our multiplier has comparable time delay when compared to other multipliers based on Karatsuba algorithm.
