This paper merges between
elliptic curve addition presents a modified processor architecture for Elliptic
Curve Cryptography computations in Galois Fields GF(p). The architecture
incorporates the methodology of pipelining to utilize the benefit of both
parallel and serial implementations. It allows the exploitation of the
inherited independency that exists in elliptic curve point addition and
doubling operations using a single pipelined core. The processor architecture
showed attraction because of its improvement over many parallel and serial
implementations of elliptic curve crypto-systems. It proved to be efficient
having better performance with regard to area, speed, and power consumption.
Key words:
Elliptic Curve Cryptography,
Pipelined Crypto Architectures, Crypto Arithmetic Hardware, Efficient crypto
ASIC Processor.
