본 논문에서는 유한 필드 GF(2m)상에서 모듈러 곱셈 A(x)B(x) mod p(x)를 수행하는 2-디지트 시리얼 (2-digit-serial) 시스톨릭 어레이 구조인 곱셈기를 제안하였다. LSB-first 곱셈 알고리즘을 분석한 후 2-디지트 시리얼 형태의 자료의존 그래프(data dependency graph, 이하 DG)를 생성하여 시스톨릭 어레이를 설계하였다. 제안한 구조는 정규적이고 서로 반대 방향으로 진행하는 에지들이 없다. 그래서 VLSI 구현에 적합하다. 제안한 2-디지트 시리얼 곱셈기는 비트-패러럴(bit-parallel) 곱셈기 보다는 적은 하드웨어를 사용하며 비트-시리얼(bit-serial) 곱셈기 보다는 빠르다. 본 논문에서 제안한 2-디지트 시리얼 시스톨릭 곱셈기는 기존의 같은 종류의 곱셈기 보다 처리기의 최대 지연 시간이 적다. 그러므로 전체 시스톨릭 곱셈기의 처리시간을 향상시킬 수 있다.

This paper describes a scalable architecture for flexible hardware implementation of Montgomery modular multiplication. Our scalable modular multiplier architecture, which is based on a one-dimensional array of processing elements (PEs), performs word parallel operation and allows us to adjust computational performance and hardware complexity depending on the number of PEs used, N_PE. Based on the proposed architecture, we designed a scalable Montgomery modular multiplier (sMM) core supporting eight field sizes defined in SEC2. Synthesized with 180-nm CMOS cell library, our sMM core was implemented with 38,317 gate equivalents (GEs) and 139,390 GEs for N_PE=1 and N_PE=8, respectively. When operating with a 100 MHz clock, it was evaluated that 256-bit modular multiplications of 0.57 million times/sec for N_PE=1 and 3.5 million times/sec for N_PE=8 can be computed. Our sMM core has the advantage of enabling an optimized implementation by determining the number of PEs to be used in consideration of computational performance and hardware resources required in application fields, and it can be used as an IP (intellectual property) in scalable hardware design of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC).

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.

In this paper, we design IDEA cipher algorithm which is cryptographically superior to DES. To improve the encryption throughput, we propose an efficient design methodology for high-speed implementation of multiplicative inverse modulo $2^{15}$+1 which requires the most computing powers in IDEA. The efficient hardware architecture for the multiplicative inverse in derived from applying of Fermat's Theorem. The computing powers for multiplicative inverse in our proposal is a decrease 50% compared with the existing method based on Extended Euclid Algorithm. We implement IDEA by applying a single iterative round method and our proposal for multiplicative inverse. With a system clock frequency 20MGz, the designed hardware permits a data conversion rate of more than 116 Mbit/s. This result show that the designed device operates about 2 times than the result of the paper by H. Bonnenberg et al. From a speed point of view, out proposal for multiplicative inverse is proved to be efficient.

The times of multiplication for encryption and decryption of cryptosystem is primarily determined by implementation efficiency of the modular exponentiation of $a^b$(mod m). The most frequently used among standard modular exponentiation methods is a standard binary method, of which n-ary($2{\leq}n{\leq}6$) is most popular. The n-ary($1{\leq}n{\leq}6$) is a square-and-multiply method which partitions $b=b_kb_{k-1}{\cdots}b_1b_{0(2)}$ into n fixed bits from right to left and squares n times and multiplies bit values. This paper proposes a variable-length partition algorithm that partitions $b_{k-1}{\cdots}b_1b_{0(2)}$ from left to right. The proposed algorithm has proved to reduce the multiplication frequency of the fixed-length partition n-ary method.

In this paper, we propose a multiplexer based scheme that performs modular AB² multiplication using redundant basis over finite field. Then we propose an efficient multiplexer based semi-systolic AB² multiplier using proposed scheme. We derive a method that allows the multiplexers to perform the operations in the cell of the modular AB² multiplier. The cell of the multiplier is implemented using multiplexers to reduce cell latency. As compared to the existing related structures, the proposed AB² multiplier saves about 80.9%, 61.8%, 61.8%, and 9.5% AT complexity of the multipliers of Liu et al., Lee et al., Ting et al., and Kim-Kim, respectively. Therefore, the proposed multiplier is well suited for VLSI implementation and can be easily applied to various applications.

RSA와 같은 공개키 암호시스템(public-key cryptography system)에서는 512 비트 또는 그 이상 큰수의 모듈러 곱셈 연산을 수행하여야한다. 본 논문에서는 Montgomery 알고리즘을 이용하여 모듈러 곱셈을 수행하는 두 가지의 고정-크기 선형 시스톨릭 어레이를 설계하고 분석한다. 제안된 임의의 고정-크기 선형 시스톨릭 어레이와 파이프라인된 고정-크기 선형 시스톨릭 어레이는 최적의 문제-크기 선형 시스톨릭 어레이로부터 LPGS(Locally Parallel Globally Sequential)분할방법을 적용하여 설계한다. VHDL 시뮬레이션 결과, 밴드이 크기를 4로 하여 분할 시 문제-크기 어레이와 비교하면 수행시간의 지연이 없었으며,어레이의 크기도 1/4로 줄일 수 있었다. 제안된 시스톨릭 어레이는 크기에 제한을 갖는 스마트카드 등에 이용될수 있을 것이다.

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.

Multiplication in Galois Field GF(2/sup m/) is a primary operation for many applications, particularly for public key cryptography such as Diffie-Hellman key exchange, ElGamal. The current paper presents a new architecture that can process Montgomery multiplication over GF(2/sup m/) in m clock cycles based on cellular automata. It is possible to implement the modular exponentiation, division, inversion /sup 1)/architecture, etc. efficiently based on the Montgomery multiplication proposed in this paper. Since cellular automata architecture is simple, regular, modular and cascadable, it can be utilized efficiently for the implementation of VLSI.
