<p>A Montgomery multiplier circuit with a chain of processing elements uses less circuit logic in each processing element by propagating an initial parameter through registers used for other purposes. An accumulation register in each processing element is used to propagate the initial parameter through the chain. In one embodiment the initial parameter is first propagated through address registers until it reaches the end of the chain, and is then looped back through the accumulation registers in the reverse direction. In one embodiment, multiples of at least one parameter used in a Montgomery multiplication are pre-calculated in the processing elements of the Montgomery multiplier using the same logic elements used in performing the Montgomery multiplication.</p> |
