Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system including a processor, a field addition circuit, and a field multiplication circuit. The processor is configured to execute instructions for performing elliptic curve operations on data. The elliptic curve operations include field operations performed in a prime field. The field addition circuit is configured to perform a field addition on the data in the prime field in response to the instructions requiring the field addition. The field multiplication circuit is configured to perform a field multiplication on the data in the prime field in response to the instructions requiring the field multiplication.
