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.

Modular exponentiation is an essential operation required for implementations of most public key cryptosystems. This paper presents two architectures for modular exponentiation using the Montgomery modular multiplication algorithm combined with two binary exponentiation methods, L-R(Left to Left) algorithms. The proposed architectures make use of MUXes for efficient pre-computation and post-computation in Montgomery\`s algorithm. For an n-bit modulus, if mulitplication with m carry processing clocks can be done (n+m) clocks, the L-R type design requires (1.5n+5)(n+m) clocks on average for an exponentiation. The R-L type design takes (n+4)(n+m) clocks in the worst case.

Most public key cryptosystems are constructed based on a modular exponentiation, which is further decomposed into a series of modular multiplications. We design a new systolic array multiplier to speed up modular multiplication using Montgomery algorithm. This multiplier with simple circuit for each processing element will save about 14% logic gates of hardware and 20% execution time compared with previous one.

This paper derived Montgomery's parallel algorithms for modular multiplication based on Walter's and Iwamura's method, and compared data dependence graph of each parallel algorithm. Comparing the result, Walter's parallel algorithm has small computational index in data dependence graph, so it is selected and used to computed spatial and temporal pipelining diagrams with each projection direction for designing expansible bit-level systolic array. We also evaluated internal operation of proposed expansible systolic array C++ language.

This paper describes a design of RSA public-key cryptography processor supporting key length of 2,048 bits. A modular multiplier that is core arithmetic function in RSA cryptography was designed using word-based Montgomery multiplication algorithm, and a modular exponentiation was implemented by using Left-to-Right (LR) binary exponentiation algorithm. A computation of a modular multiplication takes 8,386 clock cycles, and RSA encryption and decryption requires 185,724 and 25,561,076 clock cycles, respectively. The RSA processor was verified by FPGA implementation using Virtex5 device. The RSA cryptographic processor synthesized with 100 MHz clock frequency using a 0.18 um CMOS cell library occupies 12,540 gate equivalents (GEs) and 12 kbits memory. It was estimated that the RSA processor can operate up to 165 MHz, and the estimated time for RSA encryption and decryption operations are 1.12 ms and 154.91 ms, respectively.

In this paper, the bit-level 1-dimensionl systolic array for modular multiplication are designed. First of all, the parallel algorithms and data dependence graphs from Walter's Iwamura's methods based on Montgomery Algorithm for modular multiplication are derived and compared. Since Walter's method has the smaller computational index points in data dependence graph than Iwamura's, it is selected as the base algorithm. By the systematic procedure for systolic array design, four 1-dimensional systolic arrays ale obtained and then are evaluated by various criteria. Modifying the array derived from 〔0,1〕 projection direction by adding a control logic and serializing the communication paths of data A, optimal 1-dimensional systolic array is designed. It has constant I/O channels for modular expandable and is good for fault tolerance due to unidirectional paths. And so, it is suitable for RSA Cryptosystem which deals with the large size and many consecutive message blocks.

공개키 암호 시스템에서 모듈러 지수 연산은 주된 연산으로, 이 연산은 내부적으로 모듈러 곱셈을 반복적으로 수행함으로써 계산된다. 본 논문에서는 GF(2m)상에서 수행할 수 있는 Montgomery 알고리즘을 분석하여 right-to-left 방식의 모듈러 지수 연산에서 공통으로 계산 가능한 부분을 이용하여 모듈러 제곱과 모듈러 곱셈을 동시에 수행하는 선형 시스톨릭 어레이를 설계한다. 본 논문에서 설계한 시스톨릭 어레이는 기존의 곱셈기보다 모듈러 지수 연산시 약 0.67배 처리속도 향상을 가진다. 그리고, VLSI 칩과 같은 하드웨어로 구현함으로써 IC 카드에 이용될 수 있다.Abstract One of the main operations for the public key cryptographic system is the modular exponentiation, it is computed by performing the repetitive modular multiplications. In this paper, we analyze Montgomery's algorithm and design a linear systolic array to perform modular multiplication and modular squaring simultaneously. It is done by using common-multiplicand modular multiplication in the right-to-left modular exponentiation over GF(2m). The systolic array presented in this paper improves about 0.67 times than existing multipliers for performing the modular exponentiation. It could be designed on VLSI hardware and used in IC cards.

In this paper, we propose a high-speed modular multiplication algorithm which revises conventional Montgomery's algorithm. A hardware architecture is also presented to implement 1024-bit RSA cryptosystem for digital signature based on the proposed algorithm. Each iteration in our approach requires only one addition operation for two n-bit integers, while that in Montgomery's requires two addition operations for three n-bit integers. The system which is modelled in VHDL(VHSIC Hardware Description Language) is simulated in functionally through the use of $Synopsys^{TM}$ tools on a Axil-320 workstation, where Altera 10K libraries are used for logic synthesis. For FPGA implementation, timing simulation is also performed through the use of Altera MAX + PLUS II. Experimental results show that the proposed RSA cryptosystem has distinctive features that not only computation speed is faster but also hardware area is drastically reduced compared to conventional approach.

본 논문에서는 몽고메리 모듈러 곱셈(Montgomery Modular Multiplication) 알고리즘을 이용하여 효율적인 모듈러 곱셈기를 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 곱셈기는 프로그램 가능한 셀룰라 오토마타(Programmable Cellular Automata, PCA)를 기반의 구조로 설계되어 하드웨어 복잡도를 줄이고, 곱셈시 몽고메리 알고리즘을 이용하여 일반적인 나눗셈 없이 모듈러 연산을 수행하여 시간 복잡도를 최소화 한다. 제안된 곱셈기는 시간적, 공간적인 면에서 간단하고 효과적으로 구성되어 지수연산을 위한 하드웨어의 하부구조나 오류 수정 코드(Error Correcting Code)의 연산에서 효율적으로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.
