An apparatus multiplies a first and a second binary polynomial X(t) and Y(t) over GF(2), where an irreducible polynomial Mm(t)=t<m>+am-1t<m-1>+am-2t<m-2>t<m-2>+ . . . +a1t+a0, and where the coefficients ai are equal to either 1 or 0, and m is a field degree. The degree of X(t)<n, and the degree of Y(t)<n, and m<=n. The apparatus includes a digit serial modular multiplier circuit coupled to supply a multiplication result of degree >=m of a multiplication of the first and second binary polynomials. The digit serial modular multiplier circuit includes a first and second register, each being <=n bits. A partial product generator circuit multiplies a portion of digit size d of contents of the first register and contents of the second register. The partial product generator is also utilized as part of a reduction operation for at least one generic curve.
