With the advancements in quantum computing, traditional cryptography is considered to have little life in the future. That's why NIST initiated a Post-quantum cryptography-related project in order to standardize quantum-secure cryptography. With the latest report on this project, the dominating quantum-secure problems appear to stem from lattice structures. Thus, efficient implementation techniques on multiplications of lattice elements, which is the bottleneck of lattice-based cryptography, emerged as an important topic. In this thesis, we propose a new 5-way split TMVP algorithm and its application to lattice multiplications with an implementation of the lattice-based algorithm NTRU KEM. The results are promising, showing up to $34\%$, $35\%$, and $157\%$ speed-up against Toom4-Karatsuba implementation in key generation, encapsulation, and decapsulation, respectively.
