AB The focus of this article is to present a novel crypto-accelerator architecture for a resource constrainedembedded system that utilizes elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). The architecture isbuilt around Binary Edwards curves (BEC) to provide resistance against simple power analysis (SPA)attacks. Furthermore, the proposed architecture incorporates several optimizations to achieve efficienthardware resource utilization for the point multiplication process over GF(2m). This includes the useof a Montgomery radix-2 multiplier and the projective coordinate hybrid algorithm (combination ofMontgomery ladder and double and add algorithm) for scalar multiplication. A two-stage pipelinedarchitecture is employed to enhance throughput. The design is modeled in Verilog HDL and verifiedusing Vivado and ISE design suites from Xilinx. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposedBEC accelerator offers significant performance improvements compared to existing solutions. Theobtained throughput over area ratio for GF(2233) on Virtex-4, Virtex-5, Virtex-6, and Virtex-7 XilinxFPGAs are 9.43, 14.39, 26.14, and 28.79, respectively. The computation time required for a single pointmultiplication operation on the Virtex-7 device is 19.61 μs. These findings indicate that the proposedarchitecture has the potential to address the challenges posed by resource-constrained embeddedsystems that require high throughput and efficient use of available resources.
