Setting
a New Performance Standard in Public Key Cryptography
The eFast™ exponentiator sets a new performance standard for public key
cryptography. The eFast™ technology shrinks the gate
count that is required for implementing fast exponentiations on an ASIC
or an FPGA. If you are implementing cryptographic accelerators for
virtual private networks or other crypto accelerators the eFast™
technology will speed up your product or shrink the required space
required for exponentiations.
For smart cards the technology will give the
manufacturer a huge cost advantage.
Half
the size
The cost of a
normal ASIC is estimated to be proportional to the fourth power of
the chip area. A preliminary test result shows that
the eFast™ technology can
half the size of the numerical processing unit (NPU), that is required
to implement a given performance on a ASIC. On an FPGA implementation
the speed increase in comparison with known methods for exponentiation
is spectacular.
