  1. Flexible Hardware Reduction forElliptic Curve Cryptography in GF(2m) Steffen Peter, Peter Langendörfer and Krzysztof Piotrowski

  2. Flexibility for ECC implementations • = possibility to compute with other key sizes • Why? • - To communicate with peers that use other key sizes • - Change field in case the implemented field has a cryptoanalytical weakness • What is the problem? • Addition, Multiplication, Registers? - NO (padding zeros) • Control program? – NO (it is software) • Reduction!

  3. Modular Reduction • Correspondsto classic modular division • - In GF(11) = {0,1,2,…,9,10} • Example: 5 · 8 = 40 > 10  5 · 8 mod 11 = 40 mod 11 = 7 • In GF(2m) itis a polynomialdivisionbytheirreduciblepolynomial r(x)

  4. Classic School Division • reduce each bit starting from the left by XORing r • until overlapping part C1 is zero • r(x) is the given irreducible of the field

  5. Repeated Multiplication Reduction (RMR) • Reducemorebits per iterationbymultiplyingoverlapppingpart C1 withtheirreduciblepolynomial r • C ≡ (C – i · r) mod r foreach i •  C ≡C – C1 · r

  6. Reduction Polynomials [NIST] • Are eithertrinomialsorpentanomials • Second highestsetpositionissmaller m/2

  7. Hard-Wired Reduction (∙x233) C1∙r (∙x74) r=(x233+x74+x0) (∙x0) C1’∙r (∙x233) (∙x74) r=(x233+x74+x0) (∙x0) • Directmappingfrom C to C0‘‘ withfew XOR operations • Veryefficientcombinatoriccircuit • Reduction in GF(2233) needs 0.03mm² (0.25um CMOS) • NOT FLEXIBLE!

  10. Flexible Shift Reduction Example: Hardware=283 bit, m = 283 bit, r(x) = x283+x12+x7+x5+1 C1 C = 2∙283 bit multiplication result C0 C1 >>283-12 C1 XOR >>283-7 C1 >>283-5 C1 >>283 C1 C1’ C0’ C1’ >>283-12 C1’ XOR >>283-7 C1’ >>283-5 C1’ >>283 C1’ C0’’

  11. Flexible Shift Reduction Example: Hardware=283 bit, m = 163 bit, r(x) = x163+x7+x6+x3+1 2∙283 bit reduction logic C1 C0 C1 C = 2∙163 bit multiplication result >>163-7 C1 XOR >>163-6 C1 >>163-3 C1 >>163 C1 C1’ C0’ C1’ >>163-7 C1’ XOR >>163-6 C1’ >>163-3 C1’ >>163 C1’ C0’’

  12. Flexible Shift Reduction - Design

  13. Comparison of complete ECC designs Time and energy for one Elliptic Curve Point Multiplication

  14. Conclusions • Reduction is bottleneck of flexible ECC hardware accelerators • More flexiblity implies: • Less speed • More silicon area • More energy consumption • Multiple hard-wired reduction blocks (MHWR) is the best choice if supported field sizes are known • A design that support all 5 recommended NIST curves (163-571 bit) needs merely 10% more silicon area than a 571 bit single curve design. • Flexible Shift Reduction (FSR) provides more flexibility • in comparison to software (MIPS 33 MHz) it is • 500 times faster • Requires less than 1% of the energy • ECC-FSR is the fastest known implementation with such degree of flexibility
