OPTIMSM: FPGA hardware accelerator for Zero-Knowledge MSM
Abstract: The Multi-Scalar Multiplication (MSM) is the main barrier to accelerating Zero-Knowledge applications. In recent years, hardware acceleration of this algorithm on both FPGA and GPU has become a popular research topic and the subject of a multi-million dollar prize competition (ZPrize). This work presents OPTIMSM: Optimized Processing Through Iterative Multi-Scalar Multiplication. This novel accelerator focuses on the acceleration of the MSM algorithm for any Elliptic Curve (EC) by improving upon the Pippenger algorithm. A new iteration technique is introduced to decouple the required buckets from the window size, resulting in fewer EC computations for the same on-chip memory resources. Furthermore, we combine known optimizations from the literature for the first time to achieve additional latency improvements. Our enhanced MSM implementation significantly reduces computation time, achieving a speedup of up to x12.77 compared to recent FPGA implementations. Specifically, for the BLS.... https://tches.iacr.org/index.php/TCHES/article/view/12055
