Abstract: In this paper, we deal with efficient modular multiplication algorithms working with large integers on programmable smart-cards. The current smart-cards don't contain a library supporting modular arithmetic operations, which is needed in advanced cryptography schemes. Fortunately, the smart-cards contain a crypto co-processor providing a cryptographic support that can help with the acceleration of modular multiplication. The performance of three classical methods for modular multiplication with large integers and one method using a crypto co-processor is analyzed in this paper. The results of our implementation of modular arithmetic operations with the accelerated multiplication can be useful for the construction of advanced cryptographic schemes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
