Abstract

In this work, an improved algorithm for Montgomery modular inversion over GF(2m) is proposed. Moreover, A novel scalable hardware architecture for the proposed algorithm is presented which is parameterizable and amenable to interfacing to special purpose processors such as microcontrollers. The architecture supports operations over finite fields GF(2m) up to m  571 without the need to reconfigure the hardware. The results show that, this work can be exploited to construct low resource elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC).
