Abstract
Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) cryptosystem uses modular multiplication for encryption and decryption. So, performance of RSA can be drastically improved by optimizing modular multiplication. This paper proposes a new parallel, high-radix Montgomery multiplier for 1024 bits multi-core RSA processor. Each computation step operates in radix 4. The computation speed is increased by more than 4 times. We also implement a True Random Number Generator based resilience block to protect the coprocessor against power attacks.
