Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus for calculating a cryptographic component Rmod n for a cryptographic function, where n is a modulo number and R is a constant greater than n. The apparatus comprises an arithmetic logic unit configured to iteratively perform Montgomery multiplication of a first operand with a second operand to produce an intermediate result, wherein the first operand and the second operand are set to the intermediate result after each iteration, responsive to a termination condition being met, determine an adjustment parameter indicative of a difference between the intermediate result and the cryptographic component, and perform Montgomery multiplication of the intermediate result with the adjustment parameter, to calculate the cryptographic component for the cryptographic function.
