Abstract. The article describes modular exponent calculations used widely in cryptographic key exchange protocols. The measures for hardware consumption and execution speed based on argument bit width and algorithm rank are created. The partitioning of calculations is analyzed with respect to interconnect signal numbers and added delay. The partitioned blocks are used for implementation approximations of two different multiplier architectures. Examples are provided for 3 families of FPGAs: XC4000, XC6200 and FLEX10k
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
