Abstract
An arithmetic apparatus for performing a long product-sum operation includes an integer unit arithmetic circuit, a finite field GF(2^m) based unit arithmetic circuit logically adjacent to the integer unit arithmetic circuit, a selector for selecting the integer unit arithmetic circuit or the finite field GF(2^m) based unit arithmetic circuit, and an adder circuit which has a buffer for storing interim result data, adds the interim result data to the result data obtained by one of the integer unit arithmetic circuit and the finite field GF(2^m) based unit arithmetic circuit which is selected by the selector, propagates a carry in an integer unit arithmetic operation, and propagates no carry in a finite field GF(2^m) based unit arithmetic operation.
