Abstract: The present invention is directed to improve leak analysis resistance by improving randomness of a pseudorandom number. A pseudorandom number generator as a representative embodiment of the invention includes a shift resistor obtained by coupling a plurality of flip flop circuits and can generate a pseudorandom number by shifting signals by the shift register synchronously with a clock signal. A shift amount changing circuit capable of changing a shift amount in the shift register in accordance with a control signal supplied from the outside of the pseudorandom number generator is provided. By changing the shift amount in the shift register in accordance with a control signal supplied from the outside of the pseudorandom number generator by the shift amount changing circuit, it becomes difficult to make outputs of the pseudorandom number generator the same. By using such a pseudorandom number generator, leak analysis resistance can be improved.

Abstract: It is possible to achieve the protection of software with reduced overhead. For example, a memory for storing an encrypted code prepared in advance and a decryptor module for decrypting the code are provided. The decryptor module includes, for example, a three-stage pipeline and a selector for selecting one output from the outputs of each stage of the pipeline. When a branch instruction is issued and subsequent inputs of the pipeline are in the order of CD?1, CD?2, . . . , the decryptor module outputs a first decrypted code by performing a one-stage pipeline process to CD?1. Next, the decryptor module outputs a second decrypted code by performing a two-stage pipeline process to CD?2, and the decryptor module outputs a third decrypted code by performing a three-stage pipeline process to CD?3 (and subsequent codes). Therefore, in particular, the overhead to CD?1 can be reduced.
