    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses relating to a hashing accelerator having a frequency scaled message scheduler data path circuit are described. In one embodiment, a hardware accelerator includes a message digest data path circuit comprising a first message digest circuit to output a second state vector, at a first clock rate, based on a first state vector and an output from a first switch, and a second message digest circuit to output a third state vector, at the first clock rate, based on the second state vector and an output from a second switch; a message scheduler data path circuit comprising at least one first message scheduler circuit to output an element into a second message vector, at a second clock rate that is slower than the first clock rate, based on a plurality of elements of a first message vector, and at least one second message scheduler circuit to output an element into a fourth message vector, at the second clock rate that is slower than the first clock rate, based on a plurality of elements of a third message vector; and a controller to switch the first switch at the second clock rate between sourcing a first element of the first message vector and a first element of the third message vector as the output from the first switch, and switch the second switch at the second clock rate between sourcing a second element of the first message vector and a second element of the third message vector as the output from the second switch.

    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for secure message authentication and digital signatures, such as with a cipher-based hash function, for instance. Some embodiments are particularly directed to a secure authentication system that implements various aspects of the cipher-based hash function in dedicated hardware or circuitry. In various embodiments, the secure authentication system may implement one or more elements of the Whirlpool hash function in dedicated hardware. For instance, the compute-intensive substitute byte and mix rows blocks of the block cipher in the Whirlpool hash function may be implemented in dedicated hardware or circuitry using a combination of Galois Field arithmetic and fused scale/reduce circuits. In some embodiments, the microarchitecture of the secure authentication system may be implemented with delayed add key to limit the memory requirement to three sequential registers.

    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for changing a consistency with which a cell circuit (“cell”) settles into a given state. In one embodiment, a cell settles into a preferred state based on a relative polarity between respective voltages of a first rail and a second rail. Based on the preferred state, a hot carrier injection (HCI) stress is applied to change a likelihood of the cell settling into the preferred state. Applying the HCI stress includes driving off-currents of two PMOS transistors of the cell while the relative polarity is reversed. In another embodiment, a cell array comprises multiple cells which are each classified as being a respective one of a physically unclonable function (PUF) type or a random number generator (RNG) type. A cell is selected for biasing, and a stress is applied, based on each of: that cell's preferred state, that cell's classification, and another cell's classification.

    Abstract: A Bitcoin mining hardware accelerator is described. A System on Chip implementing a Bitcoin mining hardware accelerator may include a processor core and a hardware accelerator coupled to the processor core, the hardware accelerator to mine digital currency. The hardware accelerator may include a first computational block, including a message digest datapath, wherein the first computational block is to: precompute a first summation of a 32-bit message (Wi), a 32-bit round constant (Ki), and a content of a first shifted state register (Gi−1), and store a result of the first summation in a state register (Hi). The Bitcoin mining hardware accelerator may further include a second computational block comprising a message scheduler datapath.
