Normal bases are widely used in applications of Galois fields and Galois rings in areas such as coding, encryption symmetric algorithms (block cipher), signal processing, and so on. In this paper, we study the normal bases for Galois ring extension R / Z p r , where R = GR ( p r , n ) . We present a criterion on the normal basis for R / Z p r and reduce this problem to one of finite field extension R ¯ / Z ¯ p r = F q / F p ( q = p n ) by Theorem 1. We determine all optimal normal bases for Galois ring extension.

Let arithmetic pseudo-<strong>NC</strong>^k denote the problems that can be solved by log space uniform arithmetic circuits over the finite prime field GF(p) of depth O(log^k (n + p)) and size polynomial in (n + p). We show that the problem of constructing an irreducible polynomial of specified degree over GF(p) belongs to pseudo-<strong>NC</strong>^2.5. We prove that the problem of constructing an irreducible polynomial of specified degree over GF(p) whose roots are guaranteed to form a normal basis for the corresponding field extension pseudo-<strong>NC</strong>^2 -reduces to the problem of factor refinement. We show that factor refinement of polynomials is in arithmetic <strong>NC</strong>^3. Our algorithm works over any field and compared to other known algorithms it does not assume the ability to take <em>p</em>'th roots when the field has characteristic <em>p</em>.
