  • Abstract
    A new algorithm that can calculate the multiplicative inverses in GF(2m) with O(log2 m) iterations is presented. While this algorithm requires in total the same number of multiplications ([log2(m-1)]+Hw(m-1)-1) with the best known algorithm, the latency, if mapped to a hardware, can be reduced significantly ([log2(m-2)]+1), comparable to the best case result, which is implemented using Fermat´s little theorem
