摘要:
An encryption unit and decryption unit located in an encryption/decryption device may be used both for encryption and decryption, without their effects canceling each other out when, between the decryption input of the decrypter and the encryption output of the encrypter. An encryption combiner maps the encryption result data block at the encryption output to a mapped encryption result data block according to an encryption combining mapping and is exemplarily used when encrypting. A decryption combiner maps the encryption result data block at the encryption output to an inversely mapped encryption result data block according to a decryption combining mapping which is inverse to the encryption combining mapping and is exemplarily used when decrypting.

Apparatus and method for generating an individual key for accessing a predetermined addressable unit of a memory divided into addressable units. The apparatus includes a calculator for calculating a page pre-key based on a page address, a determiner for determining the individual key based on the page pre-key and a unit address, a memory for storing the calculated page pre-key, and a checker for checking whether during a next access to a further predetermined unit to which a further unique address is associated, an already calculated page pre-key exists in a temporary memory, which has been calculated based on a page address of a unique address, which is identical to the page address of the further unique address, and, if so, transmitting the already calculated page pre-key to the determiner by bypassing the calculator, and, if not, transmitting the page address of the further unique address to the calculator.

A pseudorandom number generator includes a unit for providing a number of 2n sequences of numbers, n being greater than or equal to 2. The sequences of numbers are combined by a unit such that at first all the sequences of numbers are combined with one another in an intermediate processing stage to obtain an intermediate processing sequence, and that subsequently a subgroup of k sequences of numbers is combined with the intermediate processing sequence in a final processing stage to obtain the output sequence.

摘要:
By arranging a redundancy means and a control means upstream from an encryption means which encrypts and decrypts the data to be stored in an external memory, the integrity of data may be ensured when the generation of redundancy information is realized by the redundancy means, and when the generation of a syndrome bit vector indicating any alteration of the data is implemented by the control means. What is preferred is a control matrix constructed from idempotent, thinly populated, circulant square sub-matrices only. By arranging redundancy and control means upstream from the encryption/decryption means, what is achieved is that both errors in the encrypted data and errors of the non-encrypted data may be proven, provided that they have occurred in the data path between the redundancy/control means and the encryption/decryption means.
摘要:
One or more embodiments relate to an electronic device comprising a circuitry and a programmable resistive element. The programmable resistive element comprises a first and a second state, wherein the programmable resistive element is configured to allow switching from the second state into the first state in response to a signal comprising at least a predefined level. The circuitry is configured to provide signals up the predefined level, wherein the circuitry is configured to provide a switch signal to the programmable resistive element, wherein the switch signal causes switching from the first into the second state.

Apparatus for contactless data transmission according to a predetermined transmission protocol providing control information and payload for a data transmission, with a near field communicator and an interface connected to the near field communicator, the interface being operative to exchange, using a first protocol, data with the near field communicator for the contactless transmission. In this context, the first protocol provides a transmission of control information and payload, the payload of the first protocol including the control information and the payload of the predetermined protocol. The apparatus further includes a module coupled to the interface and being operative to exchange, using the payload of the first protocol, the control information and the payload of the predetermined transmission protocol for the data exchanged contactlessly by the near field communicator.
