Abstract
An encrypting method for producing a code which cannot be deciphered by an eavesdropper. The encrypting method does not require the bit length of input information to be increased when the information is converted into a cryptogram. The encrypting method uses a prior art encryptor and decryptor when it determines that the input information is small enough to not overrun the bit length when encrypted, and a bit-length preservation encryptor and decryptor when the input information will overrun the bit length when encrypted.
