<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further enhance the secret property of circuit design data by adapting an encrypting processing in design of LSI. <P>SOLUTION: In encrypting processing SA, circuit design data 11 which need secrecy are encrypted to generate encrypted design data 12 and a key 13 for releasing the encryption. The encrypted design data 12 are provided to a user who executes design/verification processing SB, and the key 12 is also provided together as occasion demands. In the design/verification processing SB, the encrypted design data 12 are variously processed while keeping the secrecy of the content of the original circuit design data. In decoding processing SC, encrypted design data 14 after execution of design/verification processing S2 are decoded to generate the original circuit design data 15. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
