Abstract

An encryption technique having a greater encryption strength than conventional mathematical encryption by using classic physical random numbers etc., including a step for modulating one-bit input data into a coded signal by associating it with a discrete value of at least two bits determined by pseudo random numbers and physical random numbers and a step for channel-coding and outputting the coded signal, wherein 1) the coded signal can be demodulated into the input data by the pseudo random number, 2) the number of sets of input data, pseudo random number, and physical random number corresponding to a particular discrete value is equal for two values of the input data, and 3) the number of sets of pseudo random number and physical random number corresponding to respective values of the input data and respective values of the discrete value is equally associated also with any set of them.
