Elliptic periods for finite fields

We construct two new families of basis for finite field extensions. Basis in the first family, the so-called elliptic basis, are not quite normal basis, but they allow very fast Frobenius exponentiation while preserving sparse multiplication formulas. Basis in the second family, the so-called normal elliptic basis are normal basis and allow fast (quasi linear) arithmetic. We prove that all extensions admit models of this kind.
