Towards Automating Cryptographic Hardware Implementations: a Case Study of HQC.
IACR Cryptol. ePrint Arch.(2022)
摘要
While hardware implementations allow the production of highly efficient and performance-oriented designs, exploiting features such as parallelization, their longer time to code and implement often bottlenecks rapid prototyping. On the other hand, high-level synthesis (HLS) tools allow for faster experimentation of software code to a hardware platform while demonstrating a reasonable extrapolation of the expected hardware behavior. In this work, we attempt to show a rapid prototyping of the well known HQC algorithm, using HLS, and show how with a modification of certain parameters, varying degrees of comparable results can be obtained. These results, in turn, could be used as a guide for HDL (Hardware Description Language)-RTL (Register-transfer Level) developers to enhance their designs and better prototyping time in the future. Additionally, we also demonstrate that it is possible to benefit from HQC’s versatility; by achieving a low hardware footprint whilst also maintaining good performances, even on low-cost FPGA devices, which we demonstrate on the well-known Artix-7 xc7a100t-ftg256-1.
