Abstract

This paper describes an efficient FPGA implementation for modular multiplication operation in the field GF (pM) that is suitable for implementing Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems. We have developed a systolic array implementation of a Montgomery modular multiplication (MMM). This implementation is efficient for large finite fields (m =160 - 193 bit) that offer a high security level. Also our implementation is independent of reduction polynomial because of MMM technique. We have specialized to fields GF (3M) and provide implementation results. We choose m = 97 to compare our results with previous elliptic curve implementations that use different multiplication techniques. In contrast to earlier works, Montgomery multiplication technique has never been used in the field GF (pM).
