This paper proposes a new multiplicative inverse algorithm for the Galois field GF (2^m) whose elements are represented by optimal normal basis type Ⅱ. One advantage of the normal basis is that the squaring of an element is computed by a cyclic shift of the binary representation. A normal basis element is always possible to rewrite canonical basis form. The proposed algorithm combines normal basis and canonical basis. The new algorithm is more suitable for implementation than conventional algorithm.
