Public-key cryptosystems generally involve computation-intensive arithmetic operations, making them impractical for software implementation on constrained devices such as smart cards. We investigate the potential of architectural enhancements and instruction set extensions for low-level arithmetic used in public-key cryptography, most notably multiplication in finite fields of large order. The focus of the present work is directed towards a special type of finite fields, the so-called optimal extension fields GF(p/sup m/) where p is a pseudo-Mersenne (PM) prime of the form p = 2/sup n/ - c that fits into a single register. Based on the M/PS32 instruction set architecture, we introduce two custom instructions to accelerate the reduction modulo a PM prime. Moreover, we show that the multiplication in an optimal extension field can take advantage of a multiply/accumulate unit with a wide accumulator so that a certain number of 64-bit products can be summed up without overflow. The proposed extensions support a wide range of PM primes and allow a reduction modulo 2/sup n/ - c to complete in only four clock cycles when n /spl les/ 32.
