Area- Efficient VLSI Implementation of Serial-In Parallel-Out Multiplier Using Polynomial Representation in Finite Field GF(2m)
Finite field multiplier is mainly used in elliptic curve cryptography,
error-correcting codes and signal processing. Finite field multiplier is
regarded as the bottleneck arithmetic unit for such applications and it is the
most complicated operation over finite field GF(2m) which requires a huge
amount of logic resources. In this paper, a new modified serial-in parallel-out
multiplication algorithm with interleaved modular reduction is suggested. The
proposed method offers efficient area architecture as compared to proposed
algorithms in the literature. The reduced finite field multiplier complexity is
achieved by means of utilizing logic NAND gate in a particular architecture.
The efficiency of the proposed architecture is evaluated based on criteria such
as time (latency, critical path) and space (gate-latch number) complexity. A
detailed comparative analysis indicates that, the proposed finite field
multiplier based on logic NAND gate outperforms previously known resultsComment: 19 pages, 4 figure
An Efficient hardware implementation of the tate pairing in characteristic three
DL systems with bilinear structure recently became an important base for cryptographic protocols such as identity-based encryption (IBE). Since the main
computational task is the evaluation of the bilinear pairings over elliptic curves, known to be prohibitively expensive, efficient implementations are required to render them applicable in real life scenarios. We present an efficient accelerator for computing the Tate Pairing in characteristic 3, using the Modified Duursma-Lee algorithm. Our accelerator shows that it is possible to improve the area-time product by 12 times on FPGA, compared to estimated values from one of the best known hardware architecture [6] implemented on the same type of FPGA. Also the computation time is improved upto 16 times compared to software applications reported in [17]. In addition, we present the result of an ASIC implementation of the algorithm, which is the first hitherto
Error Detecting Dual Basis Bit Parallel Systolic Multiplication Architecture over GF(2m)
An error tolerant hardware efficient very large scale integration (VLSI) architecture for bit parallel systolic multiplication over dual base, which can be pipelined, is presented. Since this architecture has the features of regularity, modularity and unidirectional data flow, this structure is well suited to VLSI implementations. The length of the largest delay path and area of this architecture are less compared to the bit parallel systolic multiplication architectures reported earlier. The architecture is implemented using Austria Micro System's 0.35 m CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) technology. This architecture can also operate over both the dual-base and polynomial base
High speed world level finite field multipliers in F2m
Finite fields have important applications in number theory, algebraic geometry, Galois theory, cryptography, and coding theory. Recently, the use of finite field arithmetic in the area of cryptography has increasingly gained importance. Elliptic curve and El-Gamal cryptosystems are two important examples of public key cryptosystems widely used today based on finite field arithmetic. Research in this area is moving toward finding new architectures to implement the arithmetic operations more efficiently.
Two types of finite fields are commonly used in practice, prime field GF(p) and the binary extension field GF(2 m). The binary extension fields are attractive for high speed cryptography applications since they are suitable for hardware implementations. Hardware implementation of finite field multipliers can usually be categorized into three categories: bit-serial, bit-parallel, and word-level architectures. The word-level multipliers provide architectural flexibility and trade-off between the performance and limitations of VLSI implementation and I/O ports, thus it is of more practical significance.
In this work, different word level architectures for multiplication using binary field are proposed. It has been shown that the proposed architectures are more efficient compared to similar proposals considering area/delay complexities as a measure of performance. Practical size multipliers for cryptography applications have been realized in hardware using FPGA or standard CMOS technology, to similar proposals considering area/delay complexities as a measure of performance. Practical size multipliers for cryptography applications have been realized in hardware using FPGA or standard CMOS technology. Also different VLSI implementations for multipliers were explored which resulted in more efficient implementations for some of the regular architectures. The new implementations use a simple module designed in domino logic as the main building block for the multiplier. Significant speed improvements was achieved designing practical size multipliers using the proposed methodology
High-Speed Area-Efficient Hardware Architecture for the Efficient Detection of Faults in a Bit-Parallel Multiplier Utilizing the Polynomial Basis of GF(2m)
The utilization of finite field multipliers is pervasive in contemporary
digital systems, with hardware implementation for bit parallel operation often
necessitating millions of logic gates. However, various digital design issues,
whether natural or stemming from soft errors, can result in gate malfunction,
ultimately leading to erroneous multiplier outputs. Thus, to prevent
susceptibility to error, it is imperative to employ an effective finite field
multiplier implementation that boasts a robust fault detection capability. This
study proposes a novel fault detection scheme for a recent bit-parallel
polynomial basis multiplier over GF(2m), intended to achieve optimal fault
detection performance for finite field multipliers while simultaneously
maintaining a low-complexity implementation, a favored attribute in
resource-constrained applications like smart cards. The primary concept behind
the proposed approach is centered on the implementation of a BCH decoder that
utilizes re-encoding technique and FIBM algorithm in its first and second
sub-modules, respectively. This approach serves to address hardware complexity
concerns while also making use of Berlekamp-Rumsey-Solomon (BRS) algorithm and
Chien search method in the third sub-module of the decoder to effectively
locate errors with minimal delay. The results of our synthesis indicate that
our proposed error detection and correction architecture for a 45-bit
multiplier with 5-bit errors achieves a 37% and 49% reduction in critical path
delay compared to existing designs. Furthermore, the hardware complexity
associated with a 45-bit multiplicand that contains 5 errors is confined to a
mere 80%, which is significantly lower than the most exceptional BCH-based
fault recognition methodologies, including TMR, Hamming's single error
correction, and LDPC-based procedures within the realm of finite field
multiplication.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with
