Abstract:
The present invention is directed to improve leak analysis resistance by improving randomness of a pseudorandom number. A pseudorandom number generator as a representative embodiment of the invention includes a shift resistor obtained by coupling a plurality of flip flop circuits and can generate a pseudorandom number by shifting signals by the shift register synchronously with a clock signal. A shift amount changing circuit capable of changing a shift amount in the shift register in accordance with a control signal supplied from the outside of the pseudorandom number generator is provided. By changing the shift amount in the shift register in accordance with a control signal supplied from the outside of the pseudorandom number generator by the shift amount changing circuit, it becomes difficult to make outputs of the pseudorandom number generator the same. By using such a pseudorandom number generator, leak analysis resistance can be improved.
