be more than 100-k gates. Their flexibility (including private-key operation)
comes at the cost of a higher energy
by two to four orders of magnitude
compared to low-energy private-key
accelerators without algorithmic flexibility. Figure 17(b) also shows the
substantial energy cost of basic operations used in public-key cryptography.
For example, elliptic-curve scalar multiplication entails an energy/bit from
tens of nanojoules to microjoules,
which is higher than lightweight private-key accelerators by three to six
orders of magnitude [15], [44].
Also as shown in Figure 17(b), stateof-the-art accelerators for the Datagram
Transport Layer Security protocol used
in Internet communications require an
energy of tens of microjoules, which is
more than 100,000× larger than the energy cost of AES encryption. Similar energy is consumed when executing the
widespread Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral private key exchange
in MCUs, with an execution time on
the order of seconds [44]. An order of
magnitude lower energy and execution time is required for Elliptic Curve
Digital Signature Algorithms [44]. In
summary, public-key cryptography is
substantially more expensive than private key and should be used very judiciously, adopting alternative security
protocols that leverage less expensive
primitives, such as PUFs (e.g., for private key exchange).
Finally, hashing is another fundamental cryptographic function that
maps a message of arbitrary length
into a digest with fixed length [74].
Energy-efficient hashing has recently gained popularity among the
general public, as it is the building
block of blockchain mining. In practical applications, mining permits the
uncovering of new cryptocurrency
coins, and energy-efficient hashing
makes it financially more rewarding
because of the reduction in electricity cost [1]. As shown in Figure 17(b),
