Reconfigurable Architecture for Elliptic Curve Cryptography Using FPGA

Table 3

Estimation of the FSM stages and their respective execution number of cycles.

FSM steps	#stages	#execution cycles
Startup	1	1
Affine to Projective	1	1
Initial point Doubling	2	2
Counter increase	1	1
Counter compare	1	1
Montgomery point Addition	7	192
Montgomery point Doubling	7	192
Projective to affine	62	1

∗The symbol # stands for “Number of.”
