Abstract: When a transmitting apparatus wants to transmit a preemptable frame, the transmitting apparatus transmits a preemptable packet by a custom preamble including frame length information on a payload of the preemptable frame to the payload of the preemptable frame. A receiving apparatus determines whether a received preemptable frame is fragmented using frame length information set in the custom preamble of the received preemptable frame. As described above, since it is possible to check whether the received frame is fragmented using the frame length information set in the custom preamble, there is no need to perform CRC calculation to determine whether the received frame is fragmented as in the prior art.

Abstract: A method for preventing a differential cryptanalysis attack is provided. The method is implemented by an adaptive scan chain, a control module, and a plaintext analysis module. The plaintext analysis module controls the adaptive scan chain, so that two plaintexts differing in the last bit of only one byte are input through scan chains with different structures. Consequently, the two input plaintexts for which differential cryptanalysis attack technology originally can be used to crack the key are unable to generate outputs that can be used by the differential cryptanalysis attack technology.
