Title: A New Technique for 

Combinational Circuit Optimization and 

a New Circuit for the S-Box of AES. 

Abstract: A method of simplifying a 

combinational circuit establishes an 

initial combinational circuit operable to 

calculate a set of target signals. A 

quantity of multiplication operations 

performed in a first portion of the initial 

combinational circuit is reduced to 

create a first, simplified combinational 

circuit. The first portion includes only 

multiplication operations and addition 

operations. A quantity of addition 

operations performed in a second 

portion of the first, simplified 

combinational circuit is reduced to 

create a second, simplified 

combinational circuit. The second 

portion includes only addition 

operations. Also, the second, simplified 

combinational circuit is operable to 

calculate the target signals using fewer 

operations than the initial 

combinational circuit. 

A computer-implemented method of 

simplifying a plurality of formulas 

establishes a plurality of formulas. The 

formulas include only addition 

operations, and the formulas correspond 

to a portion of a combinational circuit 

including only addition operations. A 

basis set including a plurality of input 

signals is defined. Using a computer, a 

distance vector is determined that 

includes one value for each of the 

plurality of formulas, the one value 

corresponding to a number of addition 

operations necessary to calculate a 

corresponding formula using signals 

from the basis set. Using the computer, 

two basis vectors are determined whose 

sum, when added to the distance vector, 

reduces at least one value in the 

distance vector, and the sum is added to 

the basis set. The steps of determining 

two basis vectors whose sum, when 

added to the basis set, reduces at least 

one value in the distance vector, and 

adding the sum to the basis set may be 

selectively repeated until the basis set 

includes sums corresponding to each of 

the plurality of formulas. 

A combinational circuit for a 

Substitution-Box for the Advanced 

Encryption Standard having a total of 

115 Boolean gates comprises a first, 

input portion, a second portion coupled 

to the first, input portion, and a third, 

output portion coupled to the second 

portion. The first, input portion has 23 

XOR gates. The second portion has 30 

XOR gate and 32 AND gates, and 

computes the non-linear component of 

inversion in GF(256). Also, in the 

second portion 11 of the 30 XOR gates 

and 5 of the 32 AND gates are operable 

to perform inversion in GF(16). The 

third, output portion has 26 XOR gates 

and 4 XNOR gates.
