Abstract

Modular multiplication is the most dominant part of the computation performed in public-key cryptography systems such as the RSA cryptosystem. The operation is time consuming for large operands. This paper describes the characteristics of two architectures designed toimplement modular multiplication using the fast Montgomery algorithm: the first FPGA prototype has an iterative sequential architecture while the second has a systolic array-based architecture. The paper compares both prototypes using the time 脳area classic factor.
