Abstract: Disclosed is a key generator, which assures the security of a key by preventing a circuit designer and other persons from readily knowing the value of the key. Random number generator circuits (51, 52, 53 and so on) generate random numbers respectively in accordance with different clocks (CLK1, CLK2, CLK3, and so on).
