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.

이진체 상의 타원곡선 B-233을 지원하는 타원곡선 암호 프로세서를 32-비트 워드기반 몽고메리 곱셈기를 이용하여 설계하였다. 스칼라 곱셈을 위해 수정된 몽고메리 래더 (Modified montgomery ladder) 알고리즘을 적용하여 단순 전력분석에 내성을 갖도록 하였으며, Lopez-Dahab 투영 좌표계와 페르마의 소정리(Fermat's little theorem)를 적용하여 하드웨어 자원 소모가 큰 나눗셈과 역원 연산을 제거하여 저면적으로 설계하였다. 설계된 ECC 프로세서는 Xilinx ISim을 이용하여 기능검증을 하였으며, $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 셀 라이브러리로 합성한 결과 100 MHz의 동작 주파수에서 9,614 GEs와 4 Kbit RAM으로 구현되었으며, 최대 동작 주파수는 125 MHz로 예측되었다.

This paper describes a design of cryptographic processor supporting 224-bit elliptic curves over prime field defined by NIST. Scalar point multiplication that is a core arithmetic function in elliptic curve cryptography(ECC) was implemented by adopting the modified Montgomery ladder algorithm. In order to eliminate division operations that have high computational complexity, projective coordinate was used to implement point addition and point doubling operations, which uses addition, subtraction, multiplication and squaring operations over GF(p). The final result of the scalar point multiplication is converted to affine coordinate and the inverse operation is implemented using Fermat's little theorem. The ECC processor was verified by FPGA implementation using Virtex5 device. The ECC processor synthesized using a 0.18 um CMOS cell library occupies 2.7-Kbit RAM and 27,739 gate equivalents (GEs), and the estimated maximum clock frequency is 71 MHz. One scalar point multiplication takes 1,326,985 clock cycles resulting in the computation time of 18.7 msec at the maximum clock frequency.

Described in this paper is a design of hardware accelerator for implementing public-key cryptographic protocols (PKCPs) based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and RSA. It supports five elliptic curves (ECs) over GF(p) and three key lengths of RSA that are defined by NIST standard. It was designed to support four point operations over ECs and six modular arithmetic operations, making it suitable for hardware implementation of ECC- and RSA-based PKCPs. In order to achieve small-area implementation, a finite field arithmetic circuit was designed with 32-bit data-path, and it adopted word-based Montgomery multiplication algorithm, the Jacobian coordinate system for EC point operations, and the Fermat's little theorem for modular multiplicative inverse. The hardware operation was verified with FPGA device by implementing EC-DH key exchange protocol and RSA operations. It occupied 20,800 gate equivalents and 28 kbits of RAM at 50 MHz clock frequency with 180-nm CMOS cell library, and 1,503 slices and 2 BRAMs in Virtex-5 FPGA device.
