Abstract
- In this paper, genetic programming is used as an alternative means to automatically generate secure and minimal hardware designs of public-key cryptosystems such as the RSA cryptosystem. We evolve optimal hardware circuits for modular exponentiation, which is a cornerstone operation in many public-key cryptographic system. The evolved circuits minimize both space (i.e. required gate number) and time (i.e. encryption and decryption time). The evolved designs are shielded against side-channel leakage and hence secure. The structure of the cryptographic circuit is random and so the private key cannot be deduced using known attacks. We compare our results against existing well-known designs, which were produced by human designers based on the binary method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
