Abstract
The use of IoT technology in several applications is hampered by security and privacy concerns with IoT edge nodes. Security flaws can only be resolved by implementing cryptographic protocols on these nodes. The resource constraints of the edge nodes make it extremely difficult to implement these protocols. The majority of cryptographic protocols’ fundamental operation is finite-field multiplication, and their performance is significantly impacted by their effective implementation. Therefore, this work mainly focuses on implementing low-area with low-energy and high-speed one-dimensional bit-parallel semi-systolic multiplier for the Montgomery multiplication algorithm. The space and delay complexity analysis of the proposed multiplier structure reveals that the proposed design has a significant reduction in delay and a marginal reduction in the area when compared to the competitive one-dimensional multipliers. The obtained ASIC synthesis report demonstrates that the suggested multiplier architecture saves a marginal amount of space as well as a significant amount of time, area–delay product (ADP), and power–delay product (PDP) when compared to the competitive ones. The obtained results indicate that the proposed multiplier layout is very appropriate for use in devices with limited resources such as IoT edge nodes and tiny embedded devices.
