Abstract

In this article, we present a hybrid method to improve the performance of the Montgomery reduction by taking advantage of the Karatsuba technique. We divide the Montgomery reduction into two sub-parts, including one for the conventional Montgomery reduction and the other one for Karatsuba-aided multiplication. This approach reduces the multiplication complexity of n-limb Montgomery reduction from θ(n2 + n) to asymptotic complexity θ(7n2/8 + n). Our practical implementation results over an 8-bit microcontroller also show performance enhancements by 11%.
