Lattice-based Cryptosystems on FPGA: Parallelization and Comparison using HLS

Abstract

This paper deals with hardware implementations for lattice-based cryptography. Various CPA and CCA secure algorithms for LWE, RLWE and MLWE problems have been studied, parallelized, implemented and compared on FPGA using high-level synthesis. The impact of PRNG choices on the implementations performances and costs is also evaluated. HLS allows us to compare various sets of algorithms, architectures and parameters with a reduced design effort. Our results are often similar to state-of-the-art for various speed and cost trade-offs. Sometimes we obtain better results thanks to the exploration of numerous architecture and algorithm optimizations.
