ModSRAM: Algorithm-Hardware Co-Design for Large Number Modular Multiplication in SRAM

arXiv:2402.14152v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is widely used in security applications such as public key cryptography (PKC) and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP). ECC is composed of modular arithmetic, where modular multiplication takes most of the processing time. Computational complexity and memory constraints of ECC limit the performance. Therefore, hardware acceleration on ECC is an active field of research. Processing-in-memory (PIM) is a promising approach to tackle this problem. In this work, we design ModSRAM, the first 8T …
