Abstract
In this paper, a new method for calculation of Zech´s logarithm in GF(2m) is presented. For a given element, the logarithm is calculated by bit operations performed on its binary representation. No look-up tables are used. The proposed method makes feasible the implementation of an universal-type device for finite field arithmetic
