1. A hardware implemented Galois field multiplier comprising:

  • an input operand mapper for mapping two input operands into two mapped input operands in a composite finite field that is defined by a first irreducible polynomial of degree m*n, the first irreducible polynomial being defined by using a ground field that is defined by a second irreducible polynomial of degree n and by using an extension field that is defined by a third irreducible polynomial of degree m;

    an initial KOA processor for performing an initial KOA processing upon the two mapped input operands to produce first result vectors;

    a triangular basis ground field multiplier for performing multiplication in the ground field to produce a multiplier output; and

    an output for providing the multiplier output.
