Abstract

Amongst various Post-Quantum Cryptographic (PQC) schemes, Lattice-Based Cryptography (LBC) stands out as the most viable substitute to the classical cryptographic schemes due to its efficiency, versatility and solid foundations on hard mathematical problems. Ring Learning With Errors (R-LWE) is a Public Key Encryption (PKE) scheme of LBC, in which the modular polynomial multiplication in a ring is the main bottleneck in the realization of a practical resource-constraint design for the embedded IoT devices. This work explores novel Approximate Computing (AC) technique for the design of area/power efficient modular multiplier (so called AxMM) for R-LWE, exploiting the inherent approximate structure of the scheme. The proposed AxMM on 45nm ASIC library achieved an area and power reduction of 36% and 23%, respectively, along with a speed increase of 1.34× as compared to state-of-art smallest exact R-LWE modular multiplier.
