A digital multiplying circuit comprises an input terminal serially applied with input vectors which are elements of a finite field GF(2h), where h is a natural number, an output terminal for producing a signal obtained by multiplying a desired multiplying constant to one input vector, and h multiplying circuit parts each comprising a multiplier and a data selector for selectively producing an input or output signal of the multiplier responsive to an external selection signal. The h multiplying circuit parts are coupled in series between the input terminal and the output terminal, and an r-th multiplier among the multipliers with the h multiplying circuit parts has a multiplying constant alpha z, where r=1, 2, . . . , h, alpha is a primitive element of the finite field GF(2h) and z=2(r-1). At least one of the data selectors within the h multiplying circuit parts comprises a control terminal and is forced to produce a zero output signal responsive to an external control signal applied to the control terminal.
