Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3183198A1] The invention relates to a cryptographic data processing method for implementing a cryptographic function, which method is implemented within an electronic data processing device comprising a processor, a memory and a set of cryptographic processing modules, the method comprising the following steps implemented by a current cryptographic processing module of the set of cryptographic processing modules, the current cryptographic processing module belonging to a chain of at least two cryptographic processing modules executed for the implementation of the cryptographic function: - receiving (10) incoming data (D_A); - determining (20) a decryption key (K_I) to be applied to the incoming data (D_A) according to a master key and a position of the current cryptographic processing module; - decrypting (30) the incoming data (D_A), with the key (K_I), delivering unencrypted incoming data (DI_nc); - implementing (40) at least one cryptographic operation on the unencrypted incoming data (Di_nc), delivering unencrypted outgoing data (DO_nc); - optionally, determining (45) a subsequent cryptographic processing module to be executed on the unencrypted outgoing data; - obtaining (50) an encryption key (K_O) for the unencrypted outgoing data (DO_nc); - encrypting (60) the unencrypted outgoing data (DO_nc) with the previously determined encryption key (K_O) for the outgoing data, delivering the encrypted outgoing data (D_B), which may be intermediate data.
