Abstract :
Cryptographic applications in embedded systems for smart-cards require low-latency, low-complexity and low power dedicated hardware. In this work the GBB algorithm for finite field multiplication is optimised by recoding and the related digit-serial VLSI multiplier architecture is designed and evaluated
