Public key accelerator (PKA)
Alice, to decrypt ciphertext c using her private key, follows the steps indicated below:
1. Convert the ciphertext C to an integer ciphertext representative c.
2. Recover plaintext m = c
dp, dq, qInv), then plaintext m is obtained by performing the operations:
a)
b)
c)
d)
3. Convert the integer message representative m to an encoded message EM.
4. Recover message M= DECODE(EM), where DECODE is a decoding method.
Above operations can be accelerated by PKA using
private key is d, or
qInv).
Note: The decoding operation and the conversion operations between message and integers are
specified in PKCS#1 standard.
Elliptic curve selection
For following ECC operations curve parameters are defined as below:
•
Curve corresponds to the elliptic curve field agreed among actors (Alice and Bob).
Supported curves parameters are summarized in
curves.
•
G is the chosen elliptic curve base point (also known as generator), with a large prime
order n (i.e. n x G = identity element O).
ECDSA message signature generation
ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) signature generation function principle is
the following: Alice, to sign a message m using her private key integer d
below.
1. Calculate e = HASH(m), where HASH is a cryptographic hash function.
2. Let z be the L
3. Select a cryptographically secure random integer k where 0 < k < n.
4. Calculate the curve point (x
5. Calculate r = x
6. Calculate s = k
7. The signature is the pair (r, s).
Steps 4 to 7 are accelerated by PKA using:
•
ECDSA sign
