Abstract

The paper compares realised on modern FPGA Galois fields multipliers hardware costs to select Galois field GF(dm) with approximately the same number of elements and the lowest multiplier hardware complexity. The total increase in hardware costs depending on the increase of the basics of the field has been demonstrated. Local minimums for odd d correspond to d = 2i-1 and the global minimum for analysis based on Guild cell with realization like single unit corresponds to the value d = 3 and based on Guild cell with its multiplier and adder separate realization – the value d=7.
