Abstract This paper presents an efficient crypto processor architecture for key agreement using ECDH (Elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman) protocol over . The composition of our key-agreement architecture is expressed in consisting of the following: (i) Elliptic-curve Point Multiplication architecture for public key generation (DESIGN-I) and (ii) integration of DESIGN-I with two additional routing multiplexers and a controller for shared key generation (DESIGN-II). The arithmetic operators used in DESIGN-I and DESIGN-II contain an adder, squarer, a multiplier and inversion. A simple shift and add multiplication method is employed to retain lower hardware resources. Moreover, an essential inversion operation… More >
