A data processing apparatus that encrypts or decrypts data by Advanced Encryption Standard in which a plurality of key data are respectively prepared for a plurality of round processes that are performed in order, includes a selector that selects sub-round data of 4 bytes from input data that is a process target of a first round process; a converter that converts each data of 1 byte of the sub-round data, based on a first table by which a result same as performing a predetermined process is output, to generate converted data of 4 bytes; and an exclusive OR calculator that calculates exclusive OR of the converted data of the sub-round data, respectively, the predetermined process including an encryption process or a decryption process using at least a part of key data prepared for a second round process which is performed later than the first round process.
