A secure authentication and authorization strategy is a must for many of today’s applications.

Using multiple factors together for authentication provides more certainty about a user’s identity; thus, leading to a more reliable, effective and more difficult for an adversary to intrude.

To optimize power and area, an efficient zero product and feeder register-based multiplier (ZP and FRBM) is proposed. Another challenging task in multipliers is summation of partial products (PP), results in more delay. To address this issue, the modified parallel prefix adder (PPA) is incorporated in multiplier design.
