contents Normal basis is used in many applications because of the efficiency of the implementation. However, most space complexity reduction techniques for binary field multiplier are applicable for only optimal normal basis or Gaussian normal basis of even type. There are 187 binary fields GF(2^k) for k from 2 to 1,000 that use odd-type Gaussian normal basis. This paper presents a method to reduce the space complexity of odd-type Gaussian normal basis multipliers over binary field GF(2^k). The idea is adapted from the matrix decomposition method for optimal normal basis. The result shows that our space complexity reduction method can reduce the number of XOR gates used in the implementation comparing to previous works with a small trade-off in critical path delay.
