Efficient unified architecture for post-quantum cryptography: combining Dilithium and Kyber

Original language description

As the ongoing standardization process of post-quantum schemes yields initial outcomes, it becomes increasingly important to not only optimize standalone implementations but also explore the potential of combining multiple schemes into a single, unified architecture. In this paper, we investigate the combination of two NIST-selected schemes: the Dilithium digital signature scheme and the Kyber key encapsulation mechanism. We propose a novel set of optimization techniques for a unified hardware implementation of these leading post-quantum schemes, achieving a balanced approach between area efficiency and high performance. Our design demonstrates superior resource efficiency and performance compared to the previous unified architecture by Aikata et al., also achieving results that are better than or comparable to those of standalone implementations. The efficient and combined implementation of lattice-based digital signatures and key establishment methods can be deployed for establishing secure sessions in high-speed communication networks at servers and gateways. Moreover, the unique and compact design that requires small hardware resources can be directly used in small and cost-effective Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platforms that can be used as security co-processors for embedded devices and in the Internet of Things.
