A Galois Field arithmetic logic unit (GF ALU) circuit (200) that generates a GF product of size M includes a first and a second input field element register (205, 210), a result field element register (215), a plurality, I, of subfield sets of logic gates (255, 260, 265), a plurality, S, of extension sets of logic gates (270, 275), and 3M switches (135). M is equal to S multiplied by I. A Galois Field of size M, S, and I each has an optimal normal basis. The first and second input field element registers (205, 210) are alternately coupled to the result field element register (215) by the I subfield sets of logic gates (255, 260, 265) in a first configuration and by the S extension sets of logic gates (270, 275) in a second configuration. The 3M switches (135) alternate the first and second configurations.
