A comprehensive performance investigation on ingenious ECC co-processor architecture for Different Multipliers

This paper proposes an Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) co-processor over GF(2256), based on the Montgomery scalar multiplication algorithm and provides a comprehensive evaluation of the architecture when different multipliers are involved in the scalar multiplication. The multipliers, namely array multiplier, modified Booth multiplier and hybrid encoded low power (HELP) multiplier are considered for the study. The proposed architecture is designed using Spartan3E family device XC3S1600E and synthesized using Modelsim 5.7.
