A Trace Based $G F (2^{n})$ Inversion Algorithm

Haining Fan

Abstract

By associating Fermat's Little Theorem based $G F (2^{n})$ inversion algorithms with the multiplicative Norm function, we present an additive Trace based $G F (2^{n})$ inversion algorithm. For elements with Trace value 0, it needs 1 less multiplication operation than Fermat's Little Theorem based algorithms in some $G F (2^{n})$ s.
