A Parallel Processing Hardware Architecture for Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems
Overview This paper proposes a parallel processing crypto-processor for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) to speed up EC point multiplication. The processor consists of a controller that dynamically checks Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP) and multiple sets of modular arithmetic logic units accelerating modular operations. A case study of HW design with the proposed architecture shows that EC point multiplication over GF(p) and GF(2m) can be improved by a factor of 1.6 compared to the case of using single processing element.
