    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms to facilitate Bitcoin mining operations which support version rolling. In an embodiment, Bitcoin mining circuitry comprises a first scheduler, a first digest, a second scheduler and a second digest arranged in a pipeline configuration. Hash circuitry calculates a first plurality of hashes each based on first bits of a Merkle root, and on a different respective identifier of a Bitcoin protocol version. The first scheduler generates first message schedules each based on second bits of the Merkle root, and on a different respective nonce value. In another embodiment, the first scheduler successively provides the first message schedules to the first digest, wherein, for each such providing of one of the first message schedules, the first digest, second scheduler and second digest successively generate second hashes each based on the provided one of the first message schedules, and on a different respective one of the first hashes.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to post quantum public key signature operation for reconfigurable circuit devices. An embodiment of an apparatus includes one or more processors; and a reconfigurable circuit device, the reconfigurable circuit device including a dedicated cryptographic hash hardware engine, and a reconfigurable fabric including logic elements (LEs), wherein the one or more processors are to configure the reconfigurable circuit device for public key signature operation, including mapping a state machine for public key generation and verification to the reconfigurable fabric, including mapping one or more cryptographic hash engines to the reconfigurable fabric, and combining the dedicated cryptographic hash hardware engine with the one or more mapped cryptographic hash engines for cryptographic signature generation and verification.

    Abstract: In one example an apparatus comprises accelerator logic to pre-compute at least a portion of a message representative, hash logic to generate the message representative based on an input message, and signature logic to generate a signature to be transmitted in association with the message representative, the signature logic to apply a hash-based signature scheme to a private key to generate the signature comprising a public key, and determine whether the message representative satisfies a target threshold allocation of computational costs between a cost to generate the signature and a cost to verify the signature. Other examples may be described.
