Subquadratic space complexity multipliers for optimal normal bases (ONBs) have been proposed for practical applications. However, for the Gaussian normal basis (GNB) of type t > 2 as well as the normal basis (NB), there is no known subquadratic space complexity multiplier. In this paper, we propose the first subquadratic space complexity multipliers for the type 4 GNB. The idea is based on the fact that the finite field GF($2^n$) with the type 4 GNB can be embedded into fields with an ONB.
