Abstract :
A flexible and efficient ECC processor is presented in this paper. We design an application-specific instruction set for the processor. The proposed parallel architecture ECC processor provides the lowest level finite-field operations and supports arbitrary elliptic curves and various ECC algorithms over general prime filed. Based on 130 nm standard-cell technology, the processor requires 184μs for a 160-bit scalar multiplication based on NAF algorithm.
