The Low-Area FPGA Design for the Post-Quantum Cryptography Proposal Round5
Michał Andrzejczak · Annals of Computer Science and Information Systems · 2019
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is getting attention recently.The main reason of this situation is the announcement by the U.S. National Institute for Standard and Technology (NIST) about an opening of the standardization process for PQC.Recently NIST published a list of submissions qualified to the second round of this process.One of the selected algorithms is Round5, offering a key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) and public key encryption (PKE).Due to high complexity of postquantum cryptosystems, only a few FPGA implementations have been reported to date.In this paper, we report results for lowarea purely-hardware implementation of Round5 targeting lowcost FPGAs.
