Abstract

The subject of the present invention is a cryptographic system, having two inverse permutations, which can be implemented in a (micro) computer whose data processing resources are relatively limited. The two inverse permutations are processed with one and the same table, and the data zones, before and after permutation, occupy only one and the same memory zone. Applied to the DES cryptographic system, this can in particular be implemented in the memory card for the purpose of ensuring the security of transmissions between the card and a communication system; in particular the card reader of this system.
