Abstract: An arrangement is provided for performing modular exponentiations. A modular exponentiation may be performed by using multiple Montgomery multiplications. A Montgomery multiplication comprises a plurality of iterations of basic operations (e.g., carry-save additions), and is performed by a Montgomery multiplication engine (MME). Multiple MMEs of smaller sizes may be chained together to perform modular exponentiations of larger sizes. Additionally, a single MME of a smaller size may be scheduled to perform modular exponentiations of larger sizes. Moreover, the process of performing a Montgomery multiplication may be pipelined both horizontally and vertically. Furthermore, processes of performing two Montgomery multiplications may be interleaved and performed by the same MME or chained MMEs.

Basic operations in each iteration may be performed by multiple Montgomery multiplication processing elements (MMPEs). An MME may be arranged to pipeline the process of performing iterations of multiple basic operations and other operations required to complete a Montgomery multiplication both horizontally and vertically. An MME may also be arranged to interleave processes of performing two Montgomery multiplications.
