PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an integrated circuit capable of using an external clock signal or random clock signal as an internal synchronizing signal. SOLUTION: The integrated circuit (1) which receives the external clock signal (CK-ext) is controlled in clocking internally and the random clock signal (CK-al) which is generated internally is used additionally. With a binary switching command K corresponding to an instruction to be executed, one of those clock signals (CK-ext and CK-al) is used as a base for clock generation and an internal clock signal (CK-in) is obtained according to the one of them. The random clock signal (CK-al) is preferably used as the base for operation for processing at least secret data. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
