ABSTRACT:
A shift device for shifting a first place of a data word, which consists of a plurality of places, to a second place so as to obtain a shifted data word, wherein the first place is encrypted using a first encryption parameter and wherein the second place is encrypted using a second encryption parameter, includes a unit for shifting the first place of the data word to the second place of the data word, a unit for re-encrypting the first place from an encryption using the first encryption parameter into an encryption using the second encryption parameter, and a control for controlling the unit for shifting and the unit for re-encryption so that the first place is first shifted to the second place and is then re-encrypted, or that the first place is first re-encrypted and is then shifted to the second place. This ensures that data encrypted either with the first encryption parameter or with the second encryption parameter are always shifted, thus making it harder for attackers to eavesdrop on clear text data.
