High-Speed Design of Post Quantum Cryptography With Optimized Hashing and Multiplication.
IEEE Trans. Circuits Syst. II Express Briefs(2024)
摘要
In this brief, we realize different architectural techniques for improving the performance of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms when implemented as hardware accelerators on an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) platform. Having SABER as a case study, we designed a 256-bit wide architecture geared for high-speed cryptographic applications that incorporates smaller and distributed SRAM memory blocks. Moreover, we have adapted the building blocks of SABER to process 256-bit words. We have also used a buffering technique for efficient polynomial coefficient multiplications to reduce the clock cycle count. Finally, double-sponge functions are combined serially (one after another) in a high-speed KECCAK core to improve the hash operations of SHA/SHAKE. For key-generation, encapsulation, and decapsulation operations of SABER, our 256-bit wide accelerator with a single sponge function is 1.71x, 1.45x, and 1.78x faster than the raw clock cycle count of a serialized SABER design. Similarly, our 256-bit implementation with double-sponge functions takes 1.08x, 1.07x & 1.06x fewer clock cycles compared to its single-sponge counterpart. The studied optimization techniques are not specific to SABER – they can be utilized for improving the performance of other lattice-based PQC accelerators.
