On the Implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard on a Public-key Crypto-Coprocessor

Abstract: 

This paper describes how to implement the new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) using a modular arithmetic crypto-coprocessor, typically used to speed up public-key crypto-systems. This idea provides a fast and secure AES implementation when a dedicated hardware AES module is not available. The advantages of using the modular arithmetic coprocessor when compared to a pure software implementation are:

  • much higher execution performance,
  • less memory usage, and
  • optimized protection against side-channel attacks.

Keywords: AES, Crypto-Coprocessor, Implementation Issues, Secure Implementation.
