In this paper, we investigate the benefit of instruction set extensions for software implementations of all five SHA-3 candidates. To this end, we start from optimized assembly code for a common 16-bit microcontroller instruction set architecture. By themselves, these implementations provide reference for complexity of the algorithms on 16-bit architectures, commonly used in embedded systems. For each algorithm, we then propose suitable instruction set extensions and implement the modified processor core. We assess the gains in throughput, memory consumption, and the area overhead. Our results show that with less than 10% additional area, it is possible to increase the execution speed on average by almost 40%, while reducing memory requirements on average by more than 40%. In particular, the Grostl algorithm, which was one of the slowest algorithms in previous reference implementations, ends up being the fastest implementation by some margin, once minor (but dedicated) instruction set extensions are taken into account.
