Abstract

This study presents an efficient division architecture using irreducible trinomial in GF(2n), based on programmable cellular automata (PCA). The most expensive arithmetic operation in elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC) is division, which is performed by multiplying the inverse of a multiplicand. The proposed architecture is highly regular, expandable, and has reduced latency. The proposed architecture can be efficiently used in the hardware design of crypto-coprocessors.
