Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The emergence of quantum computers potentially threatens the security of traditional cryptographic techniques that depend on the difficulty of problems such as factorization and discrete logarithms. In recent years, there has been a movement towards standardizing post-quantum cryptography. In this study, we designed and optimized the parallelism of hardware for multiple parameter sets in key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs) based on module lattices, in accordance with NIST's FIPS203. As a result of the optimization study, we logically synthesized hardware designed to match the parallelism to the number of columns in the matrices used. In this multi-parameter compatible hardware, we confirmed an area-time efficiency approximately 1.6 times greater than that of previous studies.
