  • Patent number: 8782114
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a representation converting unit converts a set of n elements (h0, h1, . . . , hn?1) (hi: a member of a finite field Fp^m, 0?i?n?1) that is a projective representation of a member g of an n-th degree algebraic torus Tn(Fp^m) (n: positive integer, p: prime number, m: positive integer) into a limited projected representation expressed by a set of n elements (h?0, h?1, . . . , h?n?1) (h?i: a member of the finite field Fp^m, 0?i?n?1) in which at least one element out of the n elements is a zero element 0 or an identity element 1. An arithmetic unit omits part of Fp^m operation that is arithmetic operation in the finite field Fp^m based on a fact that an element in the set of n elements (h?0, h?1, . . . , h?n?1) represented by the limited projective representation is a zero element “0” or an identity element “1” when performing Fp^mn operation that is arithmetic operation of a finite field Fp^mn in combination with the Fp^m operation.

  • Patent number: 8675874
    Abstract: A compressing unit compresses an element on an algebraic torus into affine representation according to a compression map. A determining unit determines whether a target element on the algebraic torus to be compressed is an exceptional point representing an element on the algebraic torus that cannot be compressed by the compression map. The compressing unit generates, when it is determined that the target element is the exceptional point, a processing result including exceptional information indicating that the target element is the exceptional point, and generates, when it is determined that the target element is not the exceptional point, a processing result including affine representation obtained by compressing the target element according to the compression map.

  • Patent number: 8543630
    Abstract: In a computing device that calculates a square of an element in a finite field, a vector representation of the element in the finite field is accepted. The vector representation includes a plurality of elements. The computing device performs a multiplication operation on a base field using the accepted elements, and obtains a multiplication value. The multiplication operation is determined by a condition under which the element in the finite field is placed in an algebraic torus. The computing device performs an addition and subtraction operation using the obtained multiplication value and the accepted elements, and obtains a calculation result of the square of the element. The addition and subtraction operation is determined by the condition. The computing device then outputs the calculation result.

  • Publication number: 20120237035
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, in a key scheduling device, a non-linear transformation unit non-linearly transforms at least one of partial keys resulting from dividing an expanded key. A first linear transformation unit includes first and second circuits. The second circuit linearly transforms the partial key by directly using a transformation result from the non-linear transformation unit. A first storage stores the partial key linearly transformed by the first linear transformation unit. A second linear transformation unit linearly transforms, inversely to the first linear transformation unit, each of partial keys other than the partial key linearly transformed by the second circuit out of the partial keys stored in the first storage, and outputs inversely transformed partial keys. A second storage stores one of inputs to the second circuit. An outputting unit connects the respective inversely transformed partial keys and the input stored in the second storage to be output as a second key.

The first unit mask-converts input data from first temporary mask into first fixed mask (an invariable value in a first linear operation). In an encryption, the third unit performs a nonlinear operation on the mask-converted data and outputs a first result masked with second fixed mask data (an invariable value in a second linear operation). The fourth unit performs the second linear operation and outputs a encryption result masked with second fixed mask data. In a decryption, the second unit performs the first linear operation on the mask-converted data and outputs a second result masked with the first fixed mask. The third unit performs the nonlinear operation and outputs a decryption result masked with the second fixed mask. In encryption/decryptions, the fifth unit converts the mask of the encryption/decryption results into second temporary mask.
