Abstract
Demand in the consumer market for graphics hardware that accelerates rendering
of 3D images has resulted in commodity devices capable of astonishing levels of
performance. These results were achieved by specifically tailoring the
hardware for the target domain. As graphics accelerators become increasingly
programmable however, this performance has made them an attractive target for
other domains. Specifically, they have motivated the transformation of costly
algorithms from a general purpose computational model into a form that
executes on said graphics hardware. We investigate the implementation and
performance of modular exponentiation using a graphics accelerator, with the
view of using it to execute operations required in the RSA public key
cryptosystem.
