New approach on logic application of ferroelectric random access memory technology

In this paper, a new approach is described to solve some problems that occur when ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM) is applied to logic circuits, particularly RSA cryptography. Application of a programmable switch device to RSA-based cryptography processing circuits was explored. RSA-based cryptography processing circuits have been designed as code conversion circuits. The capacity of the code conversion programmable AND gate and FeRAM and the translation rate have been investigated as a function of bit length. As a result, a problem of huge capacity at the practical bit length can be predicted theoretically. To solve this problem, we propose a new scheme for circuits and a new algorithm of logic operation using the binomial theorem. [DOI: 10.1143/JJAP.41.6844]
