As an efficient key recovery attack on SIDH/SIKE was proposed, CSIDH is drawing attention again. CSIDH is an isogeny-based key exchange algorithm that is safe against known attacks to date, and provide efficient NIKE by modernizing CRS scheme. In this paper, we firstly present the optimized implementation of CSIDH-512 on ARM Cortex-M7. We use three-level hybrid Montgomery reduction and present the results of our implementation, limitations, and future research directions. This is a CSIDH implementation in 32-bit embedded devices that has not been previously presented, and it is expected that the results of this paper will be available to implement CSIDH and derived cryptographic algorithms in various embedded environments in the future.

RSA, the most commonly used public-key cryptosystem, is based on the difficulty of factoring very large integers. The fastest known factoring algorithm is the Number Field Sieve(NFS). NFS first chooses two polynomials having common root modulo N and consists of the following four major steps; 1. Polynomial Selection 2. Sieving 3. Matrix 4. Square Root, of which the most time consuming step is the Sieving step. However, in recent years, the importance of the Polynomial Selection step has been studied widely, because one can save a lot of time and memory in sieving and matrix step if one chooses optimal polynomial for NFS. One of the ideal ways of choosing sieving polynomial is to choose two polynomials with same degree. Montgomery proposed the method of selecting two (nonlinear) quadratic sieving polynomials. We proposed two cubic polynomials using 5-term geometric progression.

We establish the security requirements and derive a generic condition of elliptic curve scalar multiplication to resist against DPA and Goubin’s attack. Also we show that if a scalar multiplication algorithm satisfies our generic condition, then both attacks are infeasible. Showing that the randomized signed scalar multiplication using Ha-Moon's receding algorithm satisfies the generic condition, we recommend the randomized signed scalar multiplication using Ha-Moon's receding algorithm to be protective against both attacks. Also we newly design a random recoding method to Prevent two attacks. Finally, in efficiency comparison, it is shown that the recommended method is a bit faster than Izu-Takagi’s method which uses Montgomery-ladder without computing y-coordinate combined with randomized projective coordinates and base point blinding or isogeny method. Moreover. Izu-Takagi’s method uses additional storage, but it is not the case of ours.

The method of implementing a modular multiplier for Montgomery multiplication by using an adder depends on a selected adder. When using a CPA, there is a carry propagation problem. When using a CSA, it needs an additional calculation for a final result. The Multiplier using a Multi-precision CSA can solve both problems simultaneously by combining a CSA and a CPA. This paper presents an improved MP-CSA which reduces hardware resources and operation time by changing a MP-CSA's carry chain structure. Consequently, the proposed multiplier is more suitable for the module of long bit multiplication and exponentiation using a modular multiplier repeatedly.

Finite field operations have played an important role in error correcting codes and cryptosystems. Recently, the necessity of efficient computation processing is increasing for security in cyber physics systems. Therefore, efficient implementation of finite field arithmetics is more urgently needed. These operations include addition, multiplication, division and inversion. Addition is very simple and can be implemented with XOR operation. The others are somewhat more complicated than addition. Among these operations, multiplication is the most important, since time-consuming operations, such as exponentiation, division, and computing multiplicative inverse, can be performed through iterative multiplications. In this paper, we propose a multiplexer based parallel computation algorithm that performs Montgomery multiplication over finite field using redundant basis. Then we propose an efficient multiplexer based semi-systolic multiplier over finite field using redundant basis. The proposed multiplier has less area-time (AT) complexity than related multipliers. In detail, the AT complexity of the proposed multiplier is improved by approximately 19% and 65% compared to the multipliers of Kim-Han and Choi-Lee, respectively. Therefore, our multiplier is suitable for VLSI implementation and can be easily applied as the basic building block for various applications.

In this paper, a new structure of 1024-bit high-speed RSA cryptosystem has been proposed and implemented in hardware to increase the operation speed and enhance the variable-length operation in the plain text. The proposed algorithm applied a radix-4 Booth algorithm and CSA(Carry Save Adder) to the Montgomery algorithm for modular multiplication As the results from implementation, the clock period was approached to one delay of a full adder and the operation speed was 150MHz. The total amount of hardware was about 195k gates. The cryptosystem operates as the effective length of the inputted modulus number, which makes variable length encryption rather than the fixed-length one. Therefore, a high-speed variable-length RSA cryptosystem could be implemented.

In this paper, the hardware implementation of the RSA public-key cryptographic algorithm is presented. The RSA cryptographic algorithm is depends on the computation of repeated modular exponentials. The Montgomery algorithm is used and modified to reduce hardware resources and to achieve reasonable operating speed for smart card. An efficient architecture for modular multiplications based on the array multiplier is proposed. We have implemented a 10240it RSA cryptographic processor based on proposed scheme in IESA system developed for smart card emulating system. As a result, it is shown that proposed architecture contributes to small area and reasonable speed for smart cards.

In this paper, we implemented an Elliptic Curve Cryptography(ECC) processor for Digital Transmission Contents Protection (DTCP), which is a standard for protecting various digital contents in the network. Unlikely to other applications, DTCP uses ECC algorithm which is defined over GF(p), where p is a 160-bit prime integer. The core arithmetic operation of ECC is a scalar multiplication, and it involves large amount of very long integer modular multiplications and additions. In this paper, the modular multiplier was designed using the well-known Montgomery algorithm which was implemented with CSA(Carry-save Adder) and 4-level CLA(Carry-lookahead Adder). Our new ECC processor has been synthesized using Samsung 0.18 m CMOS standard cell library, and the maximum operation frequency was estimated 98 MHz, with the size about 65,000 gates. The resulting performance was 29.6 kbps, that is, it took 5.4 msec to process a 160-bit data frame. We assure that this performance is enough to be used for digital signature, encryption and decryption, and key exchanges in real time environments.
