<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient means for permuting vector elements in a random manner. <P>SOLUTION: A method of permuting a vector comprises providing vector entries of the vector to an input stage of a permuting structure, wherein the permuting structure comprises a plurality of stages and interconnections for groups of vector entries between the plurality of stages such that any input vector entry can be routed to any output vector entry. The method loads control elements (202) of the permuting structure with random control bits that control routing of vector entries between stages of the permuting structure and routes the vector entries from the input stage of the permuting structure to an output structure according to the control bits using the permuting structure. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
