This application relates to a synchronization circuit for synchronizing signals used in a threshold implementation operation process performing in an S-box of an encryption circuit. In one aspect, the synchronization circuit includes an enable signal generator configured to generate an enable signal. The synchronization circuit may also include a synchronization unit included in an encryption circuit and located inside an S-box that performs a threshold implementation operation that calculates by dividing bits of an input signal into bits equal to or greater than the number of bits of the input signal. The synchronization unit may be configured to synchronize signals used in a threshold implementation operation process based on the generated enable signal.
