In this paper, a new architecture for digit-parallel/bit-serial GF$(2^m)$ multiplier with low latency is proposed. The proposed multiplier operates in polynomial basis of GF$(2^m)$ and produces multiplication results at a rate of one per D clock cycles, where D is the selected digit size. The digit-parallel/bit-serial multiplier is faster than bit-serial ones but with lower area complexity than bit-parallel ones. The most significant feature of the proposed architecture is that a trade-off between hardware complexity and delay time can be achieved.

Modular multiplication is a key operation for point scalar multiplication of ECC, and is the most important factor affecting the performance of ECC processor. This paper describes a design of a 256-bit modular multiplier that adopts 3-way Toom-Cook multiplication algorithm and modified fast reduction algorithm. One 90-bit multiplier and three 264-bit adders were used to optimize the hardware size and the number of clock cycles required. The modular multiplier was verified by implementing it using Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device and the modular multiplication operation takes 15 clock cycles.

Modular multiplication is one of the most important arithmetic operations in public-key cryptography such as elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and RSA, and the performance of modular multiplier is a key factor influencing the performance of public-key cryptographic hardware. An efficient hardware implementation of word-based Montgomery modular multiplication algorithm is described in this paper. Our modular multiplier was designed to support eleven field sizes for prime field GF(p) and binary field GF(2k) as defined by SEC2 standard for ECC, making it suitable for lightweight hardware implementations of ECC processors. The proposed architecture employs pipeline scheme between the partial product generation and addition operation and the modular reduction operation to reduce the clock cycles required to compute modular multiplication by 50%. The hardware operation of our modular multiplier was demonstrated by FPGA verification. When synthesized with a 65-nm CMOS cell library, it was realized with 33,635 gate equivalents, and the maximum operating clock frequency was estimated at 147 MHz.

This paper describes a design of high performance modular multiplier that is essentially used for elliptic curve cryptography. Our modular multiplier supports modular multiplications for five field sizes over GF(p), including 192, 224, 256, 384 and 521 bits as defined in NIST FIPS 186-2, and it calculates modular multiplication in two steps with integer multiplication and reduction. The Karatsuba-Ofman multiplication algorithm was used for fast integer multiplication, and the Lazy reduction algorithm was adopted for reduction operation. In addition, the Nikhilam division algorithm was used for the division operation included in the Lazy reduction. The division operation is performed only once for a given modulo value, and it was designed to skip division operation when continuous modular multiplications with the same modulo value are calculated. It was estimated that our modular multiplier can perform 6.4 million modular multiplications per second when operating at a clock frequency of 32 MHz. It occupied 456,400 gate equivalents (GEs), and the estimated clock frequency was 67 MHz when synthesized with a 180-nm CMOS cell library.

The multiplier circuit is necessary to estimate degradation status of electronic cards in nuclear power plant, but its accuracy is not easy in processing those functions to multiply two input signals. What is important in multiplier circuit is that the multiplication result must be accurate and its linearity must be perfect. We developed and proposed excellent linearity multiplier circuit using operational amplifiers and transistor characteristics, and then proved its validity in this paper. We have made efforts to eliminate nonlinearity components of semiconductors with this circuit in order to ensure excellent linearity of developed multiplier circuit. We conducted multiplication operations through simulation, applying adequate values to each component in order to verify the circuit composed of that method. We showed step-by-step output signals, and then compared the logical analyses and measuring results as simulation results. We confirmed that this method is superior to existing multiplication or linearity.

Finite field multipliers are the basic building blocks in many applications such as error-control coding, cryptography and digital signal processing. Hence, the design of efficient dedicated finite field multiplier architectures can lead to dramatic improvement on the overall system performance. In this paper, a new bit serial structure for a multiplier with low latency in Galois field is presented. To speed up multiplication processing, we divide the product polynomial into several parts and then process them in parallel. The proposed multiplier operates standard basis of $GF(2^m)$ and is faster than bit serial ones but with lower area complexity than bit parallel ones. The most significant feature of the proposed architecture is that a trade-off between hardware complexity and delay time can be achieved.

This paper describes a high-performance hardware implementation of modular multiplication used as a core operation in elliptic curve cryptography. A 521-bit high-performance modular multiplier for NIST P-521 curve was designed by adopting 3-way Toom-Cook integer multiplication and fast reduction algorithm. Considering the property of the 3-way Toom-Cook algorithm in which the result of integer multiplication is multiplied by 1/3, modular multiplication was implemented on the Toom-Cook domain where the operands were multiplied by 3. The modular multiplier was implemented in the xczu7ev FPGA device to verify its hardware operation, and hardware resources of 69,958 LUTs, 4,991 flip-flops, and 101 DSP blocks were used. The maximum operating frequency on the Zynq7 FPGA device was 50 MHz, and it was estimated that about 4.16 million modular multiplications per second could be achieved.

대부분의 불리언 행렬에 대한 연구는 두 불리언 행렬의 곱셈에 초점을 두고 있으며 모든 불리언 행렬을 대상으로 한 곱셈에 대한 연구는 최근에야 극히 소수의 연구결과가 보이고 있다. 이 연구들은 모든 불리언 행렬 사이의 곱셈 실행시간을 개선시켰으나 연속된 세 개의 모든 lxn, nxm, mxk 불리언 행렬에 대한 곱셈은 아직 많은 개선이 필요하다. 본 논문은 모든 $l{\times}n,\;n{\times}m,\;m{\times}k$ 불리언 행렬의 곱셈 실행시간을 보다 개선할 수 있는 이론을 제시하고 이를 적용한 불리언 행렬 연속곱셈의 실행결과에 대하여 논한다.

A feature between circuit complexity and delay time is compared and simulated using C language.

소인수 분해 문제 혹은 이산대수 문제의 어려움에 근거한 공개키 암호 시스템에서는 큰 수에 대한 모듈라 멱승연산이 전체 시스템의 속도를 좌우하는 큰 요인이 된다. 모듈라 멱승 연산은 모듈라 곱셈으로 이루어진 연산이므로 모듈라 곱셈의 횟수를 줄이거나 빠른 모듈라 곱셈을 이용하면 멱승 연산의 계산 속도가 향상한다. 모듈라 곱셈 방법 중에서도 메모리를 적게 사용하면서도 고속인 방법들을 골라 비교하여 본다.
