Abstract
A key transport method for transporting a key from a buffer memory to an encryption/decryption unit is provided. The method includes logically dividing bits of the key into key segments, wherein each of the key segments has a start position and a segment length. The method also includes setting a transmission length belonging to each of key segments based on the start positions and the segment lengths of the key segments; assigning a transmission bit stream belonging to each of the key segments from the bits of the key according to the start positions and the transmission lengths of the key segments; determining a transmission sequence; and sending the start position, the segment length and the transmission bit stream belonging to each of the key segments to the encryption/decryption unit from the buffer memory based on the transmission sequence. Accordingly, the method can transport the key safely.
