SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT IMPLEMENTATION OF PRIME FIELD ARITHMETIC IN ARM PROCESSORS

摘要

The present invention provides a method for performing Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) on data, the ECC implemented on multiple arithmetic layers. By performing multi-precision multiplication by implementing product-scanning to process columns of intermediary results in order to obtain a multiplication result by computing unsigned multiplication of data, accumulating a result of the multiplication and preserving a generated carry flag such that propagation of the carry flag is delayed, the present invention improves performance.
