definition

A field is a set with two operations, addition ⊕ andmultiplication ⊗ :

both satisfy closure

both associative

both commutative

each has identity (0 and 1)

any element a has additive inverse −a

any nonzero element a 6= 0 has multiplicative inverse a−1

multiplication distributive over addition

finite fields

A finite field F has pn elements (prime p, integer n > 0).

F has characteristic p: for any a ∈ F ,a + a + · · · + a (p times) = 0.

Fields with same number of elements are isomorphic.

Over a subfield S ⊂ F , of pj elements with n = jk:F is a vector space of dimension k over S.Each a ∈ F has minimal polynomial of degree m ≤ k;

the m distinct roots a, apj

, . . . are conjugates, their sumis the trace and their product is the norm (of a).The product of all the minimal polynomials is xpn

− x

Matrix Optimization

Full optimization of matrices often improves upon the greedyalgorithm, but may require much computation.

Conclusions

Several improvements allow the merged S-box architectureof Satoh to be reduced in circuitry:

considering other bases for subfields; of 432 cases, bestuses all normal bases

full matrix optimization improves on the greedy algorithm

the NOR substitution gives further improvement

the resulting merged S-box is 20% smaller than that ofSatoh

this smaller size could save chip area in ASICs, or allowmore copies for parallelism and pipelining
