Pipelined Two-Operand Modular Adders
Pipelined two-operand modular adder (TOMA) is one of basic components used in digital signal processing (DSP) systems that use the residue number system (RNS). Such modular adders are used in binary/residue and residue/binary converters, residue multipliers and scalers as well as within residue processing channels. The design of pipelined TOMAs is usually obtained by inserting an appriopriate number of latch layers inside a nonpipelined TOMA structure. Hence their area is also determined by the number of latches and the delay by the number of latch layers. In this paper we propose a new pipelined TOMA that is based on a new TOMA, that has the smaller area and smaller delay than other known structures. Comparisons are made using data from the very large scale of integration (VLSI) standard cell library
Secure and Efficient RNS Approach for Elliptic Curve Cryptography
Scalar multiplication, the main operation in elliptic
curve cryptographic protocols, is vulnerable to side-channel
(SCA) and fault injection (FA) attacks. An efficient countermeasure
for scalar multiplication can be provided by using alternative
number systems like the Residue Number System (RNS). In RNS,
a number is represented as a set of smaller numbers, where each
one is the result of the modular reduction with a given moduli
basis. Under certain requirements, a number can be uniquely
transformed from the integers to the RNS domain (and vice
versa) and all arithmetic operations can be performed in RNS.
This representation provides an inherent SCA and FA resistance
to many attacks and can be further enhanced by RNS arithmetic
manipulation or more traditional algorithmic countermeasures.
In this paper, extending our previous work, we explore the
potentials of RNS as an SCA and FA countermeasure and provide
an description of RNS based SCA and FA resistance means. We
propose a secure and efficient Montgomery Power Ladder based
scalar multiplication algorithm on RNS and discuss its SCAFA
resistance. The proposed algorithm is implemented on an
ARM Cortex A7 processor and its SCA-FA resistance is evaluated
by collecting preliminary leakage trace results that validate our
initial assumptions
Generic design of Chinese remaindering schemes
We propose a generic design for Chinese remainder algorithms. A Chinese
remainder computation consists in reconstructing an integer value from its
residues modulo non coprime integers. We also propose an efficient linear data
structure, a radix ladder, for the intermediate storage and computations. Our
design is structured into three main modules: a black box residue computation
in charge of computing each residue; a Chinese remaindering controller in
charge of launching the computation and of the termination decision; an integer
builder in charge of the reconstruction computation. We then show that this
design enables many different forms of Chinese remaindering (e.g.
deterministic, early terminated, distributed, etc.), easy comparisons between
these forms and e.g. user-transparent parallelism at different parallel grains
