  • Block Ciphers: Fast Implementations on X86-64 Architecture
    Block Ciphers: Fast Implementations on x86-64 Architecture University of Oulu Department of Information Processing Science Master’s Thesis Jussi Kivilinna May 20, 2013 Abstract Encryption is being used more than ever before. It is used to prevent eavesdropping on our communications over cell phone calls and Internet, securing network connections, making e-commerce and e-banking possible and generally hiding information from unwanted eyes. The performance of encryption functions is therefore important as slow working implementation increases costs. At server side faster implementation can reduce the required capacity and on client side it can lower the power usage. Block ciphers are a class of encryption functions that are typically used to encrypt large bulk data, and thus make them a subject of many studies when endeavoring greater performance. The x86-64 architecture is the most dominant processor architecture in server and desktop computers; it has numerous different instruction set extensions, which make the architecture a target of constant new research on fast software implementations. The examined block ciphers – Blowfish, AES, Camellia, Serpent and Twofish – are widely used in various applications and their different designs make them interesting objects of investigation. Several optimization techniques to speed up implementations have been reported in previous research; such as the use of table look-ups, bit-slicing, byte-slicing and the utilization of “out-of-order” scheduling capabilities. We examine these different techniques and utilize them to construct new implementations of the selected block ciphers. Focus with these new implementations is in modes of operation which allow multiple blocks to be processed in parallel; such as the counter mode.

Many applications demand for embedded solutions that integrate into existing systems with tight real-time and power constraints. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) presently achieve record-breaking accuracies in all image understanding benchmarks, but have a very high computational complexity. Embedded CNNs thus call for small and efficient, yet very powerful computing platforms. This master thesis explores the potential of FPGA-based CNN acceleration and demonstrates a fully functional proof-of-concept CNN implementation on a Zynq System-on-Chip. The ZynqNet Embedded CNN is designed for image classification on ImageNet and consists of ZynqNet CNN, an optimized and customized CNN topology, and the ZynqNet FPGA Accelerator, an FPGA-based architecture for its evaluation. ZynqNet CNN is a highly efficient CNN topology. Detailed analysis and optimization of prior topologies using the custom-designed Netscope CNN Analyzer have enabled a CNN with 84.5 % top-5 accuracy at a computational complexity of only 530 million multiply- accumulate operations. The topology is highly regular and consists exclusively of convolu- tional layers, ReLU nonlinearities and one global pooling layer.

  • Obtaining More Karatsuba-Like Formulae Over the Binary Field
    1 Obtaining More Karatsuba-Like Formulae over the Binary Field Haining Fan, Ming Gu, Jiaguang Sun and Kwok-Yan Lam Abstract The aim of this paper is to find more Karatsuba-like formulae for a fixed set of moduli polynomials in GF (2)[x]. To this end, a theoretical framework is established. We first generalize the division algorithm, and then present a generalized definition of the remainder of integer division. Finally, a previously generalized Chinese remainder theorem is used to achieve our initial goal. As a by-product of the generalized remainder of integer division, we rediscover Montgomery’s N-residue and present a systematic interpretation of definitions of Montgomery’s multiplication and addition operations. Index Terms Karatsuba algorithm, polynomial multiplication, Chinese remainder theorem, Montgomery algo- rithm, finite field. I. INTRODUCTION Efficient GF (2n) multiplication operation is important in cryptosystems. The main advantage of subquadratic multipliers is that their low asymptotic space complexities make it possible to implement VLSI multipliers for large values of n. The Karatsuba algorithm, which was invented by Karatsuba in 1960 [1], provides a practical solution for subquadratic GF (2n) multipliers [2]. Because time and space complexities of these multipliers depend on low-degree Karatsuba-like formulae, much effort has been devoted to obtain Karatsuba-like formulae with low multiplication complexity. Using the Chinese remainder theorem (CRT), Lempel, Seroussi and Winograd obtained a quasi-linear upper bound of the multiplicative complexity of multiplying Haining Fan, Ming Gu, Jiaguang Sun and Kwok-Yan Lam are with the School of Software, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

  • Cs51 Problem Set 3: Bignums and Rsa
    CS51 PROBLEM SET 3: BIGNUMS AND RSA This problem set is not a partner problem set. Introduction In this assignment, you will be implementing the handling of large integers. OCaml’s int type is only 64 bits, so we need to write our own way to handle very 5 large numbers. Arbitrary size integers are traditionally referred to as “bignums”. You’ll implement several operations on bignums, including addition and multipli- cation. The challenge problem, should you choose to accept it, will be to implement part of RSA public key cryptography, the protocol that encrypts and decrypts data sent between computers, which requires bignums as the keys. 10 To create your repository in GitHub Classroom for this homework, click this link. Then, follow the GitHub Classroom instructions found here. Reminders. Compilation errors: In order to submit your work to the course grading server, your solution must compile against our test suite. The system will reject 15 submissions that do not compile. If there are problems that you are unable to solve, you must still write a function that matches the expected type signature, or your code will not compile. (When we provide stub code, that code will compile to begin with.) If you are having difficulty getting your code to compile, please visit office hours or post on Piazza. Emailing 20 your homework to your TF or the Head TFs is not a valid substitute for submitting to the course grading server. Please start early, and submit frequently, to ensure that you are able to submit before the deadline. Testing is required: As with the previous problem sets, we ask that you ex- plicitly add tests to your code in the file ps3_tests.ml.

However, writing, optimizing and pro- tecting bitsliced implementations by hand are tedious tasks, requiring knowledge in cryptography, CPU microarchitectures and side-channel attacks. The resulting programs tend to be hard to maintain due to their high complexity.

  • Quadratic Frobenius Probable Prime Tests Costing Two Selfridges
    Quadratic Frobenius probable prime tests costing two selfridges Paul Underwood June 6, 2017 Abstract By an elementary observation about the computation of the difference of squares for large in- tegers, deterministic quadratic Frobenius probable prime tests are given with running times of approximately 2 selfridges. 1 Introduction Much has been written about Fermat probable prime (PRP) tests [1, 2, 3], Lucas PRP tests [4, 5], Frobenius PRP tests [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12] and combinations of these [13, 14, 15]. These tests provide a probabilistic answer to the question: “Is this integer prime?” Although an affirmative answer is not 100% certain, it is answered fast and reliable enough for “industrial” use [16]. For speed, these various PRP tests are usually preceded by factoring methods such as sieving and trial division. The speed of the PRP tests depends on how quickly multiplication and modular reduction can be computed during exponentiation. Techniques such as Karatsuba’s algorithm [17, section 9.5.1], Toom-Cook multiplication, Fourier Transform algorithms [17, section 9.5.2] and Montgomery expo- nentiation [17, section 9.2.1] play their roles for different integer sizes. The sizes of the bases used are also critical. Oliver Atkin introduced the concept of a “Selfridge Unit” [18], approximately equal to the running time of a Fermat PRP test, which is called a selfridge in this paper. The Baillie-PSW test costs 1+3 selfridges, the use of which is very efficient when processing a candidate prime list. There is no known Baillie-PSW pseudoprime but Greene and Chen give a way to construct some similar counterexam- ples [19].
