Abstract
Cryptographic-related processing is performed using an n-bit accelerator. The processing includes providing a binary operand to a multiply-and-accumulate unit of the n-bit accelerator. The multiply-and-accumulate unit performs an operation using the binary operand and a predetermined fractional constant F to obtain an operation result, and rounds the operation result by discarding x least-significant bits of the operation result to obtain a fractionally-scaled result, where x is a configurable number of bits to discard from the operation result, and the fractionally-scaled result facilitates performing the cryptographic-related processing.
