Title:
Efficient Accelerator for NTT-based Polynomial Multiplication

Authors: Raziyeh Salarifard, Hadi Soleimany

Abstract:

The Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) is used to efficiently execute polynomial multiplication. It has become an important part of lattice-based post-quantum methods and the subsequent generation of standard cryptographic systems. However, implementing post-quantum schemes is challenging
since they rely on intricate structures. This paper demonstrates how to develop a high-speed NTT multiplier highly optimized
for FPGAs with few logical resources. We describe a novel architecture for NTT that leverages unique precomputation. Our method efficiently maps these specific pre-computed values into the built-in Block RAMs (BRAMs), which greatly reduces the area and time required for implementation when compared to previous works. We have chosen Kyber parameters to implement the proposed architectures. Compared to the most well-known approach for implementing Kyber’s polynomial multiplication using NTT, the time is reduced by 31%, and AT (area × time) is improved by 25% as a result of the pre computation we suggest in this study. It is worth mentioning that we obtained these improvements while our method does not require DSP.
