The Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) of a programmable processor is the native languageof the machine. It defines the set of operations and resourcesthat are optimized for that ...
We examine secure computing paradigms to identify any new architectural challenges for future general-purpose processors. Some essential security functions can be provided by diffe...
Public-key cryptosystems generally involve computation-intensive arithmetic operations, making them impractical for software implementation on constrained devices such as smart ca...
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a promising alternative for public-key algorithms in resource-constrained systems because it provides a similar level of security with much sh...
Binary finite fields GF(2n ) are very commonly used in cryptography, particularly in publickey algorithms such as Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). On word-oriented programmable ...
