Abstract.A lot of improvements and optimizations for the hardware implementation of SubBytes of Rijndael, in detail inversion in F 2 8 have been reported. Instead of the Rijndael original F 2 8 , it is known that its isomorphic tower field F ((2 2 ) 2 ) 2 has a more efficient inversion. For the towerings, several kinds of bases such as polynomial and normal bases can be used in mixture. Different from the meaning of this mixture of bases, this paper proposes another mixture that contributes to the reduction of the critical path delay of SubBytes. To the F (2 2 ) 2 -inversion architecture, for example, the proposed mixture inputs and outputs elements represented with normal and polynomial bases, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
