<p>A method for a Galois Field multiply includes executing first and second instructions. The first inctruction includes receiving a first input, such as a first variable, receiving a second input, such as a second variable, performing a polynomial multiplication over GF(2m), using the first and second inputs, and producing a product. The second instruction includes receiving a third input, which may be the product from the first instruction, receiving a fourth input, which is a predetermined generator polynomial to operate upon the product, receiving a fifth input, which is a length of the predetermined generator polynomial, to limit operation of the predetermined generator polynomial upon the product, and computing, via the predetermined generator polynomial limited by the length, a modulus of the product with respect to a divisor. A hardware block is also described.</p> |
