An electronic block cipher device for encrypting or decrypting a message block of digital data comprising a storage unit storing multiple substitution boxes in the form of look-up tables, the multiple substitution boxes together forming a substitution layer of a block cipher, the substitution layer being arranged to take a substitution layer input and transforming it into a substitution layer output, at least one substitution box being arranged to receive as input a combination of at least part of the outputs of more than one further substitution boxes in the same substitution layer, a control unit configured to apply the block cipher to the message block of digital data by applying a sequence of block cipher rounds to the message block, one of the block cipher rounds comprising the substitution layer. |
