Abstract: This work presents a novel combined circuit architecture for computing normal basis (NB) and Montgomery multiplications, which is based on a Hankel matrix approach. Analytical results reveal that the proposed multiplier has lower space complexity than existing systolic multipliers. Moreover, by using the combined circuit architecture, the proposed scalable multiplier over the composite fields is also presented. Analytical results reveal that the proposed multiplier has lower space complexity than existing systolic NB and Montgomery multipliers. Moreover, the proposed architecture is regular, modular and locally interconnectable, making it well suited for implementing VLSI.

Keywords: bit-parallel systolic multipliers; Hankel matrix vector; normal basis; Montgomery multiplication; combined circuit architecture; VLSI implementation.
