This paper presents a new high-efficient algorithm and architecture for an elliptic curve cryptographic processor. To reduce the computational complexity, novel modified Lopez-Dahab scalar point multiplication and left-to-right algorithms are proposed for point multiplication operation. Moreover, bit-serial Galois-field multiplication is used in order to decrease hardware complexity. The field multiplication operations are performed in parallel to improve system latency. As a result, our approach can reduce hardware costs, while the total time required for point multiplication is kept to a reasonable amount. The results on a Xilinx Virtex-5, Virtex-7 FPGAs and VLSI implementation show that the proposed architecture has less hardware complexity, number of clock cycles and higher efficiency than the previous works.

A high-performance elliptic curve cryptography processor (HP-ECCP) was designed to support five field sizes of 192, 224, 256, 384 and 521 bits over GF(p) defined in NIST FIPS 186-2, and it provides eight modes of arithmetic operations including ECPSM, ECPA, ECPD, MA, MS, MM, MI and MD. In order to make the HP-ECCP resistant to side-channel attacks, a modified left-to-right binary algorithm was used, in which point addition and point doubling operations are uniformly performed regardless of the Hamming weight of private key used for ECPSM. In addition, Karatsuba-Ofman multiplication algorithm (KOMA), Lazy reduction and Nikhilam division algorithms were adopted for designing high-performance modular multiplier that is the core arithmetic block for elliptic curve point operations. The HP-ECCP synthesized using a 180-nm CMOS cell library occupied 620,846 gate equivalents with a clock frequency of 67 MHz, and it was evaluated that an ECPSM with a field size of 256 bits can be computed 2,200 times per second.

Optimized algorithms and numerical expressions which had been verified through C program simulation, should be analyzed again with HDL (hardware description language) such as Verilog, so that the verified ones could be modified to be applied directly to hardware implementation. The reason is that the characteristics of C programming language design is intrinsically different from the hardware design structure. The hardware IP verified doubly in view of hardware structure together with algorithmic verification, was implemented on the Altera Excalibur FPGA device equipped with ARM9 microprocessor core, to a real chip prototype, using Altera embedded system development tool kit. The implemented finite field calculation IPs can be used as library modules as Elliptic Curve Cryptography finite field operations which has more than 193 bit key length.

A compact and high-performance AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption/decryption processor is designed by applying various hardware sharing and optimization techniques. In order to achieve minimized hardware complexity, sharing the S-Boxes for round transformation with the key scheduler, as well as merging and reusing datapaths for encryption and decryption are utilized, thus the area of S-Boxes is reduced by 25%. Also, the S-Boxes which require the largest hardware in AES processor is designed by applying composite field arithmetic on $GF(((2^2)^2)^2)$, thus it further reduces the area of S-Boxes when compared to the design based on $GF(2^8)$ or $GF((2^4)^2)$. By optimizing the operation of the 64-bit round transformation and round key scheduling, the round transformation is processed in 3 clock cycles and an encryption of 128-bit data block is performed in 31 clock cycles. The designed AES processor has about 15,870 gates, and the estimated throughput is 412.9 Mbps at 100 MHz clock frequency.

This paper describes a design of cryptographic processor that implements the Rijndael cipher algorithm, the Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm. It can execute both encryption and decryption, and supports only 128-bit block and 128-bit keys. As the processor is implemented only one round, it must iterate 11 times to perform an encryption/decryption. We implemented the ByteSub and InvByteSub transformation using the algorithm for minimizing the increase of area which is caused by different encryption and decryption. It could reduce the memory size by half than implementing, with only ROM. We estimate that the cryptographic processor consists of about 15,000 gates, 32K-bit ROM and 1408-bit RAM, and has a throughput of 1.28 Gbps at 110 MHz clock based on Samsung 0.5um CMOS standard cell library. To our knowledge, this offers more reduced memory size compared to previously reported implementations with the same performance.

In this paper, we propose an efficient $GF(2^m)$ multi-segment multiplier architecture and study its application to elliptic curve cryptography processors. The multi-segment based ECC datapath has a very small combinational multiplier to compute partial products, most of its internal data buses are word-sized, and it has only a single m bit multiplexer and a single m bit register. Hence, the resource requirements of the proposed ECC datapath can be minimized as the segment number increases and word-size is decreased. Hence, as compared to the ECC processor based on digit-serial multiplication, the proposed ECC datapath is more efficient in resource usage. The resource requirement of ECC Processor implementation depends not only on the number of basic hardware components but also on the complexity of interconnection among them. To show the realistic area efficiency of proposed ECC processors, we implemented both the ECC processors based on the proposed multi-segment multiplication and digit serial multiplication and compared their FPGA resource usages. The experimental results show that the Proposed multi-segment multiplication method allows to implement ECC coprocessors, requiring about half of FPGA resources as compared to digit serial multiplication.

This paper shows the implementation and design of special processor for linearly shift knapsack public key cryptography system. We highten the density of existing knapsack vector and shift the vectors linearly in order to implement the structure of linearly shift knapsack system which has the stronger cryptosystem. As it needs the parallel processing at each path according to the characteristics of this system. we propose the pipelined parallel structure and implement this system into VLSL. Also we evaluate this system and compare with other systems. The processing speed of this system is 550kb/s when dimension is 100. It is possible to use this system at the place of requiring high speed security to enlarge the structure of it.
