Post quantum public key signature operation for reconfigurable circuit devices

Abstract:

Embodiments are directed to post quantum public key signature operation for reconfigurable circuit devices. An embodiment of an apparatus includes one or more processors; and a reconfigurable circuit device, the reconfigurable circuit device including a dedicated cryptographic hash hardware engine, and a reconfigurable fabric including logic elements (LEs), wherein the one or more processors are to configure the reconfigurable circuit device for public key signature operation, including mapping a state machine for public key generation and verification to the reconfigurable fabric, including mapping one or more cryptographic hash engines to the reconfigurable fabric, and combining the dedicated cryptographic hash hardware engine with the one or more mapped cryptographic hash engines for cryptographic signature generation and verification.
