DEVICE FOR MULTIPLYING ELEMENTS OF GF(2N) FINITE SETS

摘要

The proposed device for multiplying elements of GF(2n) finite sets contains units for forming partial products, units for matrix transformation, an adder, and a decoder. Each unit for matrix transformation contains modulo 2 adders, an OR logic element, and AND logic elements. The input of the device that corresponds to the first bit of the multiplicand is connected to the first inputs of the corresponding AND logic elements of the corresponding unit for forming partial products. The input of each unit for matrix transformation is connected to the output of the preceding unit.
