Abstract
Large integer polynomial multiplication is frequently used as a key component in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms. Following the trend that efficient hardware implementation for PQC is emphasized, in this letter, we propose a new hardware-implemented lightweight accelerator for the large integer polynomial multiplication of Saber (one of the National Institute of Standards and Technology third-round finalists). First, we provided a derivation process to obtain the algorithm for the targeted polynomial multiplication. Then, the proposed algorithm is mapped into an optimized hardware accelerator. Finally, we demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed design, e.g., this accelerator with
$v=32$
has at least 48.37% less area-delay product (ADP) than the existing designs. The outcome of this work is expected to provide useful references for efficient implementation of other PQC.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Computer Architecture Letters is a rigorously peer-reviewed forum for publishing early, high-impact results in the areas of uni- and multiprocessor computer systems, computer architecture, microarchitecture, workload characterization, performance evaluation and simulation techniques, and power-aware computing. Submissions are welcomed on any topic in computer architecture, especially but not limited to: microprocessor and multiprocessor systems, microarchitecture and ILP processors, workload characterization, performance evaluation and simulation techniques, compiler-hardware and operating system-hardware interactions, interconnect architectures, memory and cache systems, power and thermal issues at the architecture level, I/O architectures and techniques, independent validation of previously published results, analysis of unsuccessful techniques, domain-specific processor architectures (e.g., embedded, graphics, network, etc.), real-time and high-availability architectures, reconfigurable systems.
