In this paper, a new architecture that can simultaneously process modular multiplication and squaring on GF(2$^{m}$ ) in m clock cycles by using the cellular automata is presented. This can be used efficiently for the design of the modular exponentiation on the finite field which is the basic computation in most public key crypto systems such as Diffie-Hellman key exchange, EIGamal, etc. Also, the cellular automata architecture is simple, regular, modular, cascadable and therefore, can be utilized efficiently for the implementation of VLSI.

The performance and practicality of cryptosystem for encryption, decryption, and primality test is primarily determined by the implementation efficiency of the modular exponentiation of $a^b$(mod n). To compute $a^b$(mod n), the standard binary squaring still seems to be the best choice. But, the d-ary, (d=2,3,4,5,6) method is more efficient in large b bits. This paper suggests m-numeral system modular exponentiation. This method can be apply to$b{\equiv}0$(mod m), $2{\leq}m{\leq}16$. And, also suggests the another method that is exit the algorithm in the case of the result is 1 or a.

This paper presents a new digit level LSB-first multiplier for computing a modular multiplication and a modular squaring simultaneously over finite field GF($2^m$). To derive $L{\times}L$ digit level architecture when digit size is set to L, the previous algorithm is used and index transformation and merging the cell of the architecture are proposed. The proposed architecture can be utilized for the basic architecture for the crypto-processor and it is well suited to VLSI implementation because of its simplicity, regularity, and concurrency.

The performance and practicality of cryptosystem for encryption, decryption, and primality test are primarily determined by the implementation efficiency of the modular exponentiation of $a^b$ (mod m). To compute $a^b$ (mod m), the standard binary squaring (square-and-multiply) still seems to be the best choice. However, in large b bits, the preprocessed n-ary, ($n{\geq}2$ method could be more efficient than binary squaring method. This paper proposes a square-and-divide and unpreprocessed n-ary square-and-divide modular exponentiation method. Results confirmed that the square-and-divide method is the most efficient of trial number in a case where the value of b is adjacent to $2^k+2^{k-1}$ or to. $2^{k+1}$. It was also proved that for b out of the beforementioned range, the unpreprocessed n-ary square-and-divide method yields higher efficiency of trial number than the general preprocessed n-ary method.

공개키 암호 시스템에서 모듈러 지수 연산은 주된 연산으로, 이 연산은 내부적으로 모듈러 곱셈을 반복적으로 수행함으로써 계산된다. 본 논문에서는 GF(2m)상에서 수행할 수 있는 Montgomery 알고리즘을 분석하여 right-to-left 방식의 모듈러 지수 연산에서 공통으로 계산 가능한 부분을 이용하여 모듈러 제곱과 모듈러 곱셈을 동시에 수행하는 선형 시스톨릭 어레이를 설계한다. 본 논문에서 설계한 시스톨릭 어레이는 기존의 곱셈기보다 모듈러 지수 연산시 약 0.67배 처리속도 향상을 가진다. 그리고, VLSI 칩과 같은 하드웨어로 구현함으로써 IC 카드에 이용될 수 있다.Abstract One of the main operations for the public key cryptographic system is the modular exponentiation, it is computed by performing the repetitive modular multiplications. In this paper, we analyze Montgomery's algorithm and design a linear systolic array to perform modular multiplication and modular squaring simultaneously. It is done by using common-multiplicand modular multiplication in the right-to-left modular exponentiation over GF(2m). The systolic array presented in this paper improves about 0.67 times than existing multipliers for performing the modular exponentiation. It could be designed on VLSI hardware and used in IC cards.

A modular exponentiation( E$M^{$=varepsilon$}$mod N) is one of the most important operations in Public-key cryptography. However, it takes much time because the modular exponentiation deals with very large operands as 512-bit integers. Modular exponentiation is composed of repetition of modular multiplications, and the number of repetition is the same as the length of the addition-chain of the exponent(E). Therefore, we can reduce the execution time of modular exponentiation by finding shorter addition-chain(i.e. reducing the number of repetitions) or by reducing the execution time of each modular multiplication. In this paper, we propose an addition-chain heuristics and two fast modular multiplication algorithms. Of two modular multiplication algorithms, one is for modular multiplication between different integers, and the other is for modular squaring. The proposed addition-chain heuristics finds the shortest addition-chain among exisiting algorithms. Two proposed modular multiplication algorithms require single-precision multiplications fewer than 1/2 times of those required for previous algorithms. Implementing on PC, proposed algorithms reduce execution times by 30-50% compared with the Montgomery algorithm, which is the best among previous algorithms.

Elliptic curve cryptography is a relatively lightweight public-key cryptography method for key generation and digital signature verification. Some lightweight curves (eg, Curve25519 and Curve Ed448) have been adopted by upcoming Transport Layer Security 1.3 (TLS 1.3) to replace the standardized NIST curves. However, the efficient implementation of Curve Ed448 on Internet of Things (IoT) devices remains underexplored. This study is focused on the optimization of the Curve Ed448 implementation on low-end IoT processors (ie, 8-bit AVR and 16-bit MSP processors). In particular, the three-level and two-level subtractive Karatsuba algorithms are adopted for multi-precision multiplication on AVR and MSP processors, respectively, and two-level Karatsuba routines are employed for multi-precision squaring. For modular reduction and finite field inversion, fast reduction and Fermat-based inversion operations are used to mitigate side-channel vulnerabilities. The scalar multiplication operation using the Montgomery ladder algorithm requires only 103 and 73 M clock cycles on AVR and MSP processors.

In this paper, with targeting on the drawback of RSA of operation speed, a new 1024-bit RSA cryptosystem has been proposed and implemented in hardware to increase the operational speed and perform the variable-length encryption. The proposed cryptosystem mainly consists of the modular exponentiation part and the modular multiplication part. For the modular exponentiation, the RL-binary method, which performs squaring and modular multiplying in parallel, was improved, and then applied. And 4-stage CSA structure and radix-4 booth algorithm were applied to enhance the variable-length operation and reduce the number of partial product in modular multiplication arithmetic. The proposed RSA cryptosystem which can calculate at most 1024 bits at a tittle was mapped into the integrated circuit using the Hynix Phantom Cell Library for Hynix 0.35㎛ 2-Poly 4-Metal CMOS process. Also, the result of software implementation, which had been programmed prior to the hardware research, has been used to verify the operation of the hardware system. The size of the result from the hardware implementation was about 190k gate count and the operational clock frequency was 150㎒. By considering a variable-length of modulus number, the baud rate of the proposed scheme is one and half times faster than the previous works. Therefore, the proposed high speed variable-length RSA cryptosystem should be able to be used in various information security system which requires high speed operation.

The efficiency of the multiplier largely depends on the representation of finite filed elements such as normal basis, polynomial basis, dual basis, and redundant representation, and so on. In particular, the redundant representation is attractive since it can simply implement squaring and modular reduction. In this paper, we propose an efficient bit-parallel multiplier for GF(2m) defined by an irreducible all-one polynomial using a redundant representation. We modify the well-known multiplication method which was proposed by Karatsuba to improve the efficiency of the proposed bit-parallel multiplier. As a result, the proposed multiplier has a lower space complexity compared to the previously known multipliers using all-one polynomials. On the other hand, its time complexity is similar to the previously proposed ones.
