Because of the efficient tradeoff in area–time complexities, digit-serial systolic multiplier over G F ( 2 m ) has gained substantial attention in the research community for possible application in current/emerging cryptosystems. In general, this type of multiplier is designed to be applicable to one certain field-size, which in fact determines the actual security level of the cryptosystem and thus limits the flexibility of the operation of cryptographic applications. Based on this consideration, in this paper, we propose a novel hybrid-size digit-serial systolic multiplier which not only offers flexibility to operate in either pentanomial- or trinomial-based multiplications, but also has low-complexity implementation performance. Overall, we have made two interdependent efforts to carry out the proposed work. First, a novel algorithm is derived to formulate the mathematical idea of the hybrid-size realization. Then, a novel digit-serial structure is obtained after efficient mapping from the proposed algorithm. Finally, the complexity analysis and comparison are given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed multiplier, e.g., the proposed one has less area-delay product (ADP) than the best existing trinomial-based design. The proposed multiplier can be used as a standard intellectual property (IP) core in many cryptographic applications for flexible operation.
