Deliver 60% Higher Performance Levels | PK Configuration | Field/Key Size | Clock Frequency | Throughput (ops/sec) | ASIC Gate Count (NAND2 Equivalent) | | ECMQV | 160-bit 256-bit | 200 Mhz 200 Mhz | 200 Mhz 200 Mhz | 200K 500K | | RSA | 1024-bit 3072-bit | 200 Mhz 200 Mhz | 6400 4266 | 500K 3000K | Figure 1. Sample Performance Levels and Gate Counts Reduce Cost of On-Chip Security by Over 50% With 60% more effective bits of security and 60% more performance than RSA, you can dramatically reduce the number of gates required to achieve equivalent performance levels. This smaller implementation typically lowers accelerator chip costs by more than 50%. Given your volumes, this could impact your company’s bottom line and enable you to charge a premium for higher-performance throughput relative to RSA.
