Abstract

In a modular multiplication circuit which operates under the conditions 0<N<2.sup.n, 0.ltoreq.A, B<2N, R=2.sup.n+2, a first multiplier performs multiplication between input values A and B. A second multiplier performs multiplication between the output of the first multiplier and [-(N.sup.-1 mod R)], which is decided by set parameters N and R, and outputs M. A third multiplier performs multiplication between the output M and the set parameter N and outputs the product M.times.N. An adder adds the output of the first multiplier and the output of the third multiplier, and a shift register shifts the sum leftward by n+2 bits. Thus, an output P=(A.times.B+M.times.N)/R is produced.
