In this paper, we propose an efficient architecture for radix-4 modular multiplication in systolic array structure based on the Montgomery's algorithm. We propose a radix-4 modular multiplication algorithm to reduce the number of iterations, so that it takes (3/2)n+2 clock cycles to complete an n-bit modular multiplication. Since we can interleave two consecutive modular multiplications for 100% hardware utilization and can start the next multiplication at the earliest possible moment, it takes about only n/2 clock cycles to complete one modular multiplication in the average. The proposed architecture is quite regular and scalable due to the systolic array structure so that it fits in a VLSI implementation. Compared to conventional approaches, the proposed architecture shows shorter period to complete a modular multiplication while requiring relatively less hardware resources.

This paper proposes a RSA crypto-processor for embedded systems. The architecture of the RSA crypto-processor should be used relying on Big Montgomery algorithm, and is supported by configurable bit size. The RSA crypto-processor includes a RSA control signal generator, an optimal Big Montgomery processor(adder, multiplier). We use diverse arithmetic unit (adder, multiplier) algorithm. After we compared the various results, we selected the optimal arithmetic unit which can be connected with ARM core-processor. The RSA crypto-processor was implemented with Verilog HDL with top-down methodology, and it was verified by C language and Cadence Verilog-XL. The verified models were synthesized with a Hynix 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, CMOS standard cell library while using Synopsys Design Compiler. The RSA crypto-processor can operate at a clock speed of 51 MHz in this worst case conditions of 2.7V, 10$0^{\circ}C$ and has about 36,639 gates.

The design of efficient cryptosystems is mainly appointed by the efficiency of the underlying finite field arithmetic. Especially, among the basic arithmetic over finite field, the rnultiplicative inversion is the most time consuming operation. In this paper, a fast inversion algerian in finite field $GF(2^m)$ with the standard basis representation is proposed. It is based on the Extended binary gcd algorithm (EBGA). The proposed algorithm executes about $18.8\%\;or\;45.9\%$ less iterations than EBGA or Montgomery inverse algorithm (MIA), respectively. In practical applications where the dimension of the field is large or may vary, systolic array sDucture becomes area-complexity and time-complexity costly or even impractical in previous algorithms. It is not suitable for low-weight and low-power systems, i.e., smartcard, the mobile phone. In this paper, we propose a new hardware architecture to apply an area-efficient and a synchronized inverter on low-complexity systems. It requires the number of addition and reduction operation less than previous architectures for computing the inverses in $GF(2^m)$ furthermore, the proposed inversion is applied over either prime or binary extension fields, more specially $GF(2^m)$ and GF(P) .

The modular multiplication is the key module of public-key cryptosystems such as RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography). However, the efficiency of the modular multiplication, especially the modular square, is very low. In order to reduce their operation cycles and power consumption, and improve the efficiency of the public-key cryptosystems, a dual-field efficient FIPS (Finely Integrated Product Scanning) modular multiplication algorithm is proposed. The algorithm makes a full use of the correlation of the data in the case of equal operands so as to avoid some redundant operations. The experimental results show that the operation speed of the modular square is increased by 23.8% compared to the traditional algorithm after the multiplication and addition operations are reduced about (s² - s) / 2, and the read operations are reduced about s² - s, where s = n / 32 for n-bit operands. In addition, since the algorithm supports the length scalable and dual-field modular multiplication, distinct applications focused on performance or cost could be satisfied by adjusting the relevant parameters.

The general number field sieve (GNFS) is asymptotically the fastest known factoring algorithm. One of the most important steps of GNFS is to select a good polynomial pair. A standard way of polynomial selection (being used in factoring RSA challenge numbers) is to select a nonlinear polynomial for algebraic sieving and a linear polynomial for rational sieving. There is another method called a nonlinear method which selects two polynomials of the same degree greater than one. In this paper, we generalize Montgomery's method [12] using geometric progression (GP) (mod N) to construct a pair of nonlinear polynomials. We also introduce GP of length d + k with $1{\leq}k{\leq}d-1$ and show that we can construct polynomials of degree d having common root (mod N), where the number of such polynomials and the size of the coefficients can be precisely determined.

In this paper, the bit-level 1-dimensionl systolic array for modular multiplication are designed. First of all, the parallel algorithms and data dependence graphs from Walter's Iwamura's methods based on Montgomery Algorithm for modular multiplication are derived and compared. Since Walter's method has the smaller computational index points in data dependence graph than Iwamura's, it is selected as the base algorithm. By the systematic procedure for systolic array design, four 1-dimensional systolic arrays ale obtained and then are evaluated by various criteria. Modifying the array derived from 〔0,1〕 projection direction by adding a control logic and serializing the communication paths of data A, optimal 1-dimensional systolic array is designed. It has constant I/O channels for modular expandable and is good for fault tolerance due to unidirectional paths. And so, it is suitable for RSA Cryptosystem which deals with the large size and many consecutive message blocks.

This paper discusses how to effectively guarantee the coverage and connectivity quality of wireless sensor networks when joint perception model is used for the nodes whose communication ranges are multi-level adjustable in the absence of position information. A Connect Coverage Algorithm Based on Joint Sensing model (CCAJS) is proposed, with which least working nodes are chosen based on probability model ensuring the coverage quality of the network. The algorithm can balance the position distribution of selected working nodes as far as possible, as well as reduce the overall energy consumption of the whole network. The simulation results show that, less working nodes are needed to ensure the coverage quality of networks using joint perception model than using the binary perception model. CCAJS can not only satisfy expected coverage quality and connectivity, but also decrease the energy consumption, thereby prolonging the network lifetime.

This paper presents a high-performance elliptic curve cryptographic processor over $GF(2^m)$. The proposed design adopts Lopez-Dahab Montgomery algorithm for elliptic curve point multiplication and uses Gaussian normal basis for $GF(2^m)$ field arithmetic operations. We select m=163 which is the smallest value among five recommended $GF(2^m)$ field sizes by NIST and it is Gaussian normal basis of type 4. The proposed elliptic curve cryptographic processor consists of host interface, data memory, instruction memory, and control. We implement the proposed design using Xilinx XCV2000E FPGA device. Based on the FPGA implementation results, we can see that our design is 2.6 times faster and requires significantly less hardware resources compared with the previously proposed best hardware implementation.

In this paper, an efficient radix-4 systolic VLSI architecture for RSA public-key cryptosystem is proposed. Due to the simple operation of iterations and the efficient systolic mapping, the proposed architecture computes an n-bit modular exponentiation in n$^{2}$ clock cycles since two modular multiplications for M$_{i}$ and P$_{i}$ in each exponentiation process are interleaved, so that the hardware is fully utilized. We encode the exponent using Radix-4. SD (Signed Digit) number system to reduce the number of modular multiplications for RSA cryptography. Therefore about 20% of NZ (non-zero) digits in the exponent are reduced. Compared to conventional approaches, the proposed architecture shows shorter period to complete the RSA while requiring relatively less hardware resources. The proposed RSA architecture based on the modified Montgomery algorithm has locality, regularity, and scalability suitable for VLSI implementation.
