Title
Time-Area Optimized Public-Key Engines: Mq-Cryptosystems As Replacement For Elliptic Curves?
Abstract
In this paper ways to efficiently implement public-key schemes based on Multivariate Quadratic polynomials (MQ-schemes for short) are investigated. In particular, they are claimed to resist quantum computer attacks. It is shown that such schemes can have a much better time-area product than elliptic curve cryptosystems. For instance, an optimised FPGA implementation of amended TTS is estimated to be over 50 times efficient with respect to this parameter. Moreover, a general framework for implementing small-field MQ-schemes in hardware is proposed which includes a systolic architecture performing Gaussian elimination over composite binary fields.
