An encoding device includes an encoding unit and an output register downstream of the encoding unit. During a second time period, encoded output data are formed from input data fed to the encoding unit and are written into the output register. After the second time period elapses, no further data are fed to the output register, but power consumption of the output register must not alter. The encoding unit continues to generate output data until a first time period elapses. The encoding device prevents an external observer from drawing any conclusions from the power consumption of the encoding device as to the actual generating period of the encoded output data in the output register. |
