Abstract
A bit-serial multiplier for GF(2m) is presented. This multiplier operates in a similar way to the traditional Berlekamp multiplier and has the same hardware requirements. However the format of the inputs to the proposed multiplier is different, and in some circumstances constant multipliers based on this approach can be clocked faster than those based on the traditional Berlekamp multiplier
