PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and apparatus for enhanced CMEA or ECMEA processing. SOLUTION: A forward ECMEA process and a reverse ECMEA process are performed. The forward ECMEA process decrypts a text encrypted by the reverse ECMEA process and the reverse ECMEA process decrypts a text encrypted by the forward ECMEA process. The forward ECMEA process employs a transformation, an iteration of the CMEA process and an inverse transformation. The reverse ECMEA process employs a reverse transformation, an iteration of the CMEA process, and a reverse inverse transformation. The transformation, reverse transformations and the iteration of the CMEA process employ secret offsets to improve security. The transformations and the iteration of the CMEA process also employ an enhanced tbox function using an involutary lookup table. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
