In order to solve the well-known drawback of reduced flexibility that is associate with ASIC implementations, this paper proposes a novel arithmetic unit over GF(2$^{m}$ ) for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) implementations of elliptic curve cryptographic processor. The proposed arithmetic unit is based on the binary extended GCD algorithm and the MSB-first multiplication scheme, and designed as systolic architecture to remove global signals broadcasting. The proposed architecture can perform both division and multiplication in GF(2$^{m}$ ). In other word, when input data come in continuously, it produces division results at a rate of one per m clock cycles after an initial delay of 5m-2 in division mode and multiplication results at a rate of one per m clock cycles after an initial delay of 3m in multiplication mode respectively. Analysis shows that while previously proposed dividers have area complexity of Ο(m$^2$) or Ο(mㆍ(log$_2$$^{m}$ )), the Proposed architecture has area complexity of Ο(m), In addition, the proposed architecture has significantly less computational delay time compared with the divider which has area complexity of Ο(mㆍ(log$_2$$^{m}$ )). FPGA implementation results of the proposed arithmetic unit, in which Altera's EP2A70F1508C-7 was used as the target device, show that it ran at maximum 121MHz and utilized 52% of the chip area in GF(2$^{571}$ ). Therefore, when elliptic curve cryptographic processor is implemented on FPGAs, the proposed arithmetic unit is well suited for both division and multiplication circuit.

In this paper, we propose a new division circuit for $GF(2^m)$ applications. The proposed division circuit is based on a modified the binary GCD algorithm and produce division results at a rate of one per 2m-1 clock cycles. Analysis shows that the proposed circuit gives $47\%$ and $20\%$ improvements in terms of speed and hardware respectively. In addition, since the proposed circuit does not restrict the choice of irreducible polynomials and has regularity and modularity, it provides a high flexibility and scalability with respect to the field size m. Thus, the proposed divider. is well suited to low-area $GF(2^m)$ applications.

In this paper, we proposed a new scalar multiplier structure needed for an elliptic curve cryptosystem(ECC) over the standard basis in GF(2$^{163}$ ). It consists of a bit-serial multiplier and a divider with control logics, and the divider consumes most of the processing time. To speed up the division processing, we developed a new division algorithm based on the extended Euclid algorithm. Dynamic data dependency of the Euclid algorithm has been transformed to static and fixed data flow by a localization technique, to make it independent of the input and field polynomial. Compared to other existing scalar multipliers, the new scalar multiplier requires smaller gate counts with improved processor performance. It has been synthesized using Samsung 0.18 um CMOS technology, and the maximum operating frequency is estimated 250 MHz. The resulting performance is 148 kbps, that is, it takes 1.1 msec to process a 163-bit data frame. We assure that this performance is enough to be used for digital signature, encryption/decryption, and key exchanges in real time environments.

This paper describes a design of cryptographic processor supporting 233-bit elliptic curves over binary field defined by NIST. Scalar point multiplication that is core arithmetic in elliptic curve cryptography(ECC) was implemented by adopting modified Montgomery ladder algorithm, making it robust against simple power analysis attack. Point addition and point doubling operations on elliptic curve were implemented by finite field multiplication, squaring, and division operations over $GF(2^{233})$, which is based on affine coordinates. Finite field multiplier and divider were implemented by applying shift-and-add algorithm and extended Euclidean algorithm, respectively, resulting in reduced gate counts. The ECC processor was verified by FPGA implementation using Virtex5 device. The ECC processor synthesized using a 0.18 um CMOS cell library occupies 49,271 gate equivalents (GEs), and the estimated maximum clock frequency is 345 MHz. One scalar point multiplication takes 490,699 clock cycles, and the computation time is 1.4 msec at the maximum clock frequency.
