Fully paramaterisable galois field arithmetic processor over GF(3 m) suitable for elliptic curve cryptography

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we present an architecture for a flexible GF(3m) multiplicative arithmetic processor. The ABC processor performs computations of the form R = (AB/C) mod F in 2m clock cycles, where A,B,C and F are polynomials over GF(3). The same hardware can be used for different Held sizes offering full paramaterisability up to a maximum field size. We present prototype implementation results on FPGA for a field size of GF(3255). The processor is suitable for cryptographic applications where variable levels of security are required.
