A parallel processing shrinking key generator is provided. The parallel
processing shrinking key generator includes: a selection linear feedback
shift register (LFSR); a source LFSR; a selection logic circuit for
selecting one of a source bit of the source LFSR and a predetermined
input bit according to a selection bit of the selection LFSR; an index
counter for assigning an index where output bits of the selection logic
circuit are stored at a next clocking of a clock signal; and an output
amount register for shifting an output bit of the selection logic circuit
according to the assignment of the index counter.
