Abstract

Modular exponentiation in a finite field is the basic computation involved in most public key crypto systems, such as Diffie-Hellman key exchange, ElGamal, etc. The current paper presents a new parallel architecture whereby the modular multiplication and squaring can be processed simultaneously in GF(2m) in m clock cycles using a cellular automata. Since the proposed cellular automata architecture is simple, regular, modular, cascadable, it can also be utilized efficiently for the implementation of VLSI.
