    Abstract: The disclosure concerns an encryption function applied to a first word, a second word, a third word, and a fourth word including: multiplying the third word by the fourth word; adding the result of the multiplication; subtracting the result of the addition to the second word from the result of the addition to the first word; adding the result of the subtraction; combining with a constant the result of the addition of the third word to the result of the subtraction; and multiplying by two the result of said combination and circularly shifting the codes of the respective results of the addition of the fourth word to the result of the subtraction, of the addition of the second word to the result of the multiplication, and of the addition of the first word to the result of the multiplication.

    Abstract: In authenticating a first circuit by a second circuit, the second circuit selects one of a set of public values and sends to the first circuit a request for a secret value corresponding to the selected one of the set of public values. The first circuit derives the secret value from the selected one of the set of public values using a seed from set of seeds that is stored in a destructive fashion such that each use of a seed destroys that seed. The set of seeds is smaller in number than the set of public values. The second circuit determines whether the secret value matches the selected one of the set of public values using a one-way function. A positive authentication is generated based upon the determination of a match.
