The age of quantum computers is coming soon. In order to prepare for the upcoming future, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has recruited candidates to set standards for post quantum cryptography to establish a future cryptography standard. The submitted ciphers are expected to be safe from quantum algorithm attacks, but it is necessary to verify that the submitted algorithm is safe from quantum attacks using quantum algorithm even when it is actually operated on a quantum computer. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate an efficient quantum gate implementation for binary field multiplication of code based post quantum cryptography to work on quantum computers. We implemented the binary field multiplication for two field polynomials presented by Classic McEliece and three field polynomials presented by ROLLO in generic algorithm and Karatsuba algorithm.

The important arithmetic operations over finite fields include multiplication and exponentiation. An exponentiation operation can be implemented using a series of squaring and multiplication operations over GF($2^m$) using the binary method. Hence, it is important to develop a fast algorithm and efficient hardware for multiplication. This paper presents an efficient bit-serial systolic array for MSB-first multiplication in GF($2^m$) based on the polynomial representation. As compared to the related multipliers, the proposed systolic multiplier gains advantages in terms of input-pin and area-time complexity. Furthermore, it has regularity, modularity, and unidirectional data flow, and thus is well suited to VLSI implementation.

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.

The important arithmetic operations over finite fields include exponentiation, division, and inversion. An exponentiation operation can be implemented using a series of squaring and multiplication operations using a binary method, while division and inversion can be performed by the iterative application of an AB$^2$ operation. Hence, it is important to develop a fast algorithm and efficient hardware for this operations. In this paper presents new bit-serial architectures for the simultaneous computation of multiplication and squaring operations, and the computation of an $AB^2$ operation over $GF(2^m)$ generated by an irreducible AOP of degree m. The proposed architectures offer a significant improvement in reducing the hardware complexity compared with previous architectures, and can also be used as a kernel circuit for exponentiation, division, and inversion architectures. Furthermore, since the Proposed architectures include regularity and modularity, they can be easily designed on VLSI hardware and used in IC cards.

This paper presents new architectures based on the linear feedback shia resister architecture over GF(2m). First we design a modular multiplier and a modular squarer, then propose an architecture by combing the multiplier and the squarer. All architectures use an irreducible AOP (All One Polynomial) as a modulus, which has the properties of all coefficients with '1'. The proposed architectures have lower hardware complexity than previous architectures. They could be. Therefore it is useful for implementing the exponentiation architecture, which is the con operation in public-key cryptosystems.

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.

This paper presents a new semi- systolic architecture for $AB^2$ operation. First of all the previous architecture proposed by Lee et al. is analysed and then we present a new algorithm and it's architecture for $AB^2$ operation based on AOP (all one polynomial) to solve the shortcomings in the architecture. Proposed architecture has an efficient configuration than other previous architectures.
