In the present method of implementing functioning of an encryption engine, a plurality of logic blocks are provided, each for running a function. Each function is run based on three variables, each of which may have a first or second value. The function is run with the first variable value selected as having its first value, and with the second and third variables having their actual values. The function is again run with the first variable value selected as having its second value, and again with the second and third variables having their actual values. An actual value of the first variable is determined, and the output of the logic block is determined by the actual value of the first variable.
