The primary concern in this paper is to present a unifying approach to the study of finite-dimensional flexible composition algebras, including its classification problem. By a composition algebra we mean a nonassociative algebra A over a field F of characteristic# 2 with a nondegenerate'symmetric bilinear form (,) permitting composition for all x, y E A, where x. y denotes the multiplication in A. If A has a unit element, then it is called unital. By the well-known generalized Hurwitz theorem, any unital composition algebra over F has dimension 1, 2, 4 or 8 and
