Encryption apparatus, decryption apparatus, expanded key generating apparatus and method therefor, and recording medium

摘要

Expanded key schedule circuit for common key encryption system in which expanded keys are used in a predetermined order in data randomizing process for encryption and in a reversed order in data randomizing process for decryption, comprises round processing circuits connected in series. The round processing circuits subject the common key or sub key of a previous stage to a round function to output a sub key. The sub key of the last stage is equal to the common key. The expanded keys are generated from the sub keys.
