Yet another Improvement of Plantard Arithmetic for Faster Kyber on Low-end 32-bit IoT Devices

This paper presents another improved version of Plantard arithmetic that could speed up Kyber implementations on two low-end 32-bit IoT platforms (ARM Cortex-M3 and RISC-V) without SIMD extensions. Specifically, we further enlarge the input range of the Plantard arithmetic without modifying its computation steps. After tailoring the Plantard arithmetic for Kyber's modulus, we show that the input range of the Plantard multiplication by a constant is at least 2.14 times larger than the original design in TCHES2022. Then, two optimization techniques for efficient Plantard arithmetic on Cortex-M3 and RISC-V are presented. We show that the Plantard arithmetic supersedes both Montgomery and Barrett arithmetic on low-end 32-bit platforms. With the enlarged input range and the efficient implementation of the Plantard arithmetic on these platforms, we propose various optimization strategies for NTT/INTT. We minimize or entirely eliminate the modular reduction of coefficients in NTT/INTT by taking advantage of the larger input range of the proposed Plantard arithmetic on low-end 32-bit platforms. Furthermore, we propose two memory optimization strategies that reduce 23.50% to 28.31% stack usage for the speed-version Kyber implementation when compared to its counterpart on Cortex-M4. The proposed optimizations make the speed-version implementation more feasible on low-end IoT devices. Thanks to the aforementioned optimizations, our NTT/INTT implementation shows considerable speedups compared to the state-of-the-art work. Overall, we demonstrate the applicability of the speed-version Kyber implementation on memory-constrained IoT platforms and set new speed records for Kyber on these platforms.

High-Throughput GPU Implementation of Dilithium Post-Quantum Digital Signature

Digital signatures are fundamental building blocks in various protocols to provide integrity and authenticity. The development of the quantum computing has raised concerns about the security guarantees afforded by classical signature schemes. CRYSTALS-Dilithium is an efficient post-quantum digital signature scheme based on lattice cryptography and has been selected as the primary algorithm for standardization by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. In this work, we present a high-throughput GPU implementation of Dilithium. For individual operations, we employ a range of computational and memory optimizations to overcome sequential constraints, reduce memory usage and IO latency, address bank conflicts, and mitigate pipeline stalls. This results in high and balanced compute throughput and memory throughput for each operation. In terms of concurrent task processing, we leverage task-level batching to fully utilize parallelism and implement a memory pool mechanism for rapid memory access. Considering the impact of varying repetition numbers in Dilithium on the overall execution time and hardware utilization, we propose a dynamic task scheduling mechanism to improve multiprocessor occupancy and significantly reduce execution time. Furthermore, we apply asynchronous computing and launch multiple streams to hide data transfer latencies and maximize the computing capabilities of both CPU and GPU. Across all three security levels, our GPU implementation can concurrently compute ten thousand tasks in less than 32 miliseconds for signing and 15 miliseconds for verification on both commercial and server-grade GPUs. This achieves microsecond-level amortized execution times for each task, offering a high-throughput and quantum-resistant solution suitable for a wide array of applications in real systems.
