A method of encrypting messages in clear with the aid of a secret key, the method of encryption implementing at least one substitution layer using a substitution table and a diffusion layer using a diffusion matrix, the substitution layer and/or the diffusion layer being configured in a dynamic manner by a control parameter obtained by combining the secret key with the output word from a counter and by performing a non-invertible transformation on the combination. The counter is incremented at least once between two successive plaintext messages. The configuration of the substitution layer is manifested by an identical permutation of bits of each element of the substitution table and the configuration of the diffusion layer is manifested by a permutation of the elements of the diffusion matrix.
