Abstract

A data scramble device includes an intermediate key generation unit configured to generate intermediate keys from random numbers, and an extended key generation unit configured to generate an extended key from intermediate keys generated by the intermediate key generation unit. Further, the data scramble device includes a scramble arithmetic operation unit configured to generate scramble data by performing a scramble arithmetic operation of target data and an extended key generated by the extended key generation unit.

Claims

a scramble arithmetic operation unit configured to generate scramble data by performing a scramble arithmetic operation of target data and an extended key generated by the extended key generation unit.

2. The data scramble device according to claim 1, wherein

the intermediate key generation unit generates:

first arithmetic operation data by performing an arithmetic operation of the random number and a first fixed number;

second arithmetic operation data by performing an arithmetic operation of the random number and a second fixed number; and

a plurality of intermediate keys by repeating processing to generate an intermediate key by performing a scramble arithmetic operation of the first arithmetic operation data and the second arithmetic operation data a plurality of times while changing the first fixed number and the second fixed number.

3. The data scramble device according to claim 2, wherein

the extended key generation unit:

selects any of the plurality of intermediate keys by using an intermediate key selection table;

generates a plurality of unit extended keys from the selected intermediate keys; and

generates the extended key by combining the plurality of generated unit extended keys.

4. The data scramble device according to claim 3, comprising a first intermediate key selection table having a plurality of rows and a second intermediate key selection table having rows in the number different from the number of rows of the first intermediate key selection table, wherein

the number of combinations of the intermediate keys that can be selected by selecting rows of the first intermediate key selection table and the second intermediate key selection table is greater than the number of unit extended keys used when the extended key is generated.

5. The data scramble device according to claim 4, wherein

the least common multiple of the number of rows of the first intermediate key selection table and the number of rows of the second intermediate key selection table is greater than the number of unit extended keys used when the extended key is generated.

6. The data scramble device according to claim 4, wherein
