Optimal Normal Bases Over Finite Fields

General Mathematics 2021-06-29 v1

Abstract

In this paper, a method for constructing a near optimal normal basis for algebraic extensions of a finite field is described. In each extension, except for the squares of basis elements, the product of two distinct normal basis elements can be expressed as a linear combination of those two basis elements, with coefficients in a much smaller subfield.
