FPGA implementation of variable precision Euclid’s GCD algorithm

Introduction: Euclid's algorithm is well-known for its efficiency and simple iterative to compute the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two non-negative integers. It contributes to almost all public key cryptographic algorithms over a finite field of arithmetic. This, in turn, has led to increas...

The proposed implementation was benchmarked using seven field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) chip families (i.e., one Altera chip and six Xilinx chips) and reported on four cost complexity factors: the maximum frequency, the total delay values, the hardware utilization and the total FPGA thermal power dissipation. Results: The results demonstrated that the XC7VH290T-2-HCG1155 and XC7K70T-2-FBG676 devices recorded the best maximum frequencies of 243.934 MHz down to 39.94 MHz for 32-bits with 1024-bit precisions, respectively.
