FPGA-Based Cloud Security Solutions for 5G Networks

The primary goal of this work is to introduce possible hardware solutions regarding cryptographic key management and generation, which ensure uniqueness, high security standards, and of course applicability in multi-tenancy environments over 5G networks. It is also proposed to design an integrated system that combines elliptic curve key generation, client content encryption, and decryption process with FPGA devices, and a user interface that can be implemented with conventional web implementation methods. This paper will describe a cryptographic key generation system with FPGA that can work on Zynq or ultra-scale devices. Essentially this is a hardware IP block that performs the computation of the scalar multiplication <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$[\boldsymbol{k}]\boldsymbol{P}$</tex> on any elliptic curve defined in a finite field of characteristic <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\boldsymbol{p} &gt; \mathbf{3}$</tex>. Intended as a hardware accelerator embedded in a silicon matrix to ensure highly reliable and yet efficient elliptic curve signature authentication and secure Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
