Abstract: Determining hash values based on at least two types of hash functions, utilizing a memory that is arranged to store at least one state to be used to determine hash values pursuant to a SHA-3 function, wherein hash values pursuant to any of a SHA-2 function or a SHA-1 function are determined based on the state.

Abstract: A data storage device comprises a plurality of storage elements, each storage element configured for storing a piece of information. The plurality of storage elements is accessible as a plurality of word sets, each word set comprising a set of storage elements, and is accessible as a plurality of slice sets, each slice set comprising a set of storage elements. Each storage element is a part of a word set and a part of a slice set. The device further comprises a control unit configured for obtaining word information and slice information and for executing a write operation to parallelly write the word information into a first word set of the plurality of word sets and the slice information into a first slice set of the plurality of slice sets, wherein the first word set and the first slice set comprise a common storage element defined by an overlap of the first word set and the first slice set in a layout of the plurality of storage elements.

Abstract: Error correction is proposed in which a syndrome calculation is carried out in a code domain of a second code and an efficient error correction algorithm is carried out in a code domain of a first code.

Abstract: Error correction is proposed, wherein, on the basis of a data word, a syndrome calculation is carried out with a matrix M on the basis of a matrix H of a code, and, if the result of the syndrome calculation reveals that the data word is erroneous, the result of the syndrome calculation is transformed by means of a linear mapping. Next, an error vector is determined on the basis of the result of the linear mapping by means of an efficient error correction algorithm and the erroneous data word is corrected on the basis of the error vector.

Abstract: A circuit includes a data input that is configured to receive a data word, the data word including at least one operand which is rotated by a number of bits given by a rotation parameter, a first control input that is configured to receive the rotation parameter, a second control input that is configured to receive an indication of an operation to be performed, a first subcircuit that is configured to generate an operation- and rotation-dependent bit mask from the rotation parameter and the indication of the operation to be performed, a second subcircuit which is configured to process the at least one operand as a function of the bit mask and the operation to be performed, wherein the operand and the operation result generated by the processing remain in the rotated state, and a data output which is configured to output the operation result.
