Abstract: A system for encrypting a plaintext block using a block encryption
algorithm having a block size smaller than that of the plaintext block.
The plaintext block is transformed into a masked plaintext block using an
invertible transformation optionally dependent on additional data and
defined such that each bit of the masked plaintext block depends on every
bit of the original plaintext block. A subportion of the masked
plaintext block is encrypted using the encryption algorithm to generate
an encrypted portion of the masked plaintext block. A ciphertext block
is generated from the thus encrypted portion of the masked plaintext
block and the remaining portion of the masked plaintext block. The
ciphertext block is transmitted to a data recipient, who reverses the
procedure to recover the original plaintext block. Since the entire
masked plaintext block is necessary to reconstruct the original plaintext
block and since the encrypted portion cannot be derived from the
remaining portion, the remaining portion of the masked plaintext block
may be transmitted to the recipient in unencrypted form. To thwart
certain cryptanalytic attacks, either the plaintext block or the optional
additional data is uniquely modified for each encryption of a plaintext
block, using an incrementing counter, time stamp, random number or other
mechanism. In an exemplary embodiment, an elliptic curve algorithm
having a block size on the order of 160 bits is used to encrypt a 512-bit
block containing a symmetric encryption key.

Abstract: A method for measuring ash content of food stuff is carried
out by 1) preparing, with respect to food stuff samples
whose ash content values are known, a calibration curve by
a non-linear analysis of absorbance values and the known
ash content of each sample, the absorbance values being
obtained by irradiating light having particular wavelengths
containing at least an ultraviolet ray band wavelength, the
particular wavelength being specific to organic ingredients
well coupled to inorganic ingredients which result in the
ash content, and 2) deriving, with respect to a sample
whose ash content value is unknown, an ash content value of
the sample from absorbance values obtained by irradiating,
on the sample, light having the particular wavelengths
containing at least the ultraviolet ray band wavelength and
from the calibration curve prepared in advance by the non-linear
analysis. An apparatus for carrying out the method
includes a light source section (81), a photo detecting
section (88), a storing section (76) for storing the calibration
curve, and a calculation section (77) for calculating,
with respect to a sample whose ash content value is
unknown, the ash content value based on the absorbance
values and the calibration curve stored in the storing
section. It is possible to speed up the measuring operation
and to improve the measuring precision.
