Patent number: 7570759Abstract: A method for encrypting a message containing a plurality of message segments is described. First, a key is input into a SHA function to generate a first hash value. Then, a first message segment is encrypted into a first cipher segment by use of a part of the first hash value. Next, the first message segment and the first hash value are input into the SHA function to generate a second hash value. Following that, the second message segment is encrypted into a second cipher segment by use of a part of the second hash value. Subsequently, next message segment is repeatedly encrypted and input into the SHA function to generate a next cipher segment and a next hash value, respectively, until the last message segment is encrypted and the last hash value is generated.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2004Date of Patent: August 4, 2009Inventor: Yen-Fu Liu

Patent number: 7020570Abstract: An accelerated test method for testing an integrated circuit is described. The accelerated test method has the following steps. First, test vector data is taken as input to the integrated circuit to produce response data as output. Next, a one-way-hash function is used to transform the response data into a test message digest. Next, the test message digest is verified against a standard message digest to determine whether the test message digest meet a predetermined requirement. The one-way-hash function is embedded as part of the BIST circuit in the integrated circuit or implemented within automated test equipment.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2003Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Inventor: Yen-Fu Liu
