Abstract
An encoding/decoding operation portion includes an encoding/decoding operation circuit and an avoiding path for detouring the encoding decoding operation circuit and can select between encoding or decoding input data in the encoding/decoding operation circuit and detouring the encoding/decoding operation circuit to output the input data without change. Only one wire has to be provided from a selector to a key storage portion and an initialization-vector storage portion. With this construction, it is possible to realize an encoding/decoding circuit which can suppress an increase in the number of wires used to transmit a content of key data to the key storage portion and the initialization-vector storage portion and does not cause complication of circuit layout.
