Abstract
A data comparison device holds first and second encrypted data of first and second plaintext, respectively. The first plaintext is divided into a plurality of blocks and the first encrypted data is generated by executing encryption of each of the plurality of blocks and shuffling of the plurality of blocks. The second plaintext is divided into a plurality of blocks and the second encrypted data is generated by executing encryption of each of the plurality of blocks. In at least one of the first encrypted data and the second encrypted data, a plaintext value is embedded as a value indicating a magnitude comparison result, and the data comparison device compares blocks at the same position before shuffling of the first encrypted data and the second encrypted data based on the embedded value and determines a magnitude relationship between the first plaintext and the second plaintext.
