Speed-up of a cryptographic process by software (program) is realized. A data processing unit which executes a data process according to a program defining a cryptographic process sequence is included, and the data processing unit, according to the program, generates a bit slice expression data based on a plurality of plain text data items which are encryption process targets and a bit slice expression key based on a cryptographic key of each plain text data item, generates a whitening key and a round key based on the bit slice expression key, executes the cryptographic process including operation and movement processes of a block unit of the bit slice expression data, and an operation using the round key, as a process according to a cryptographic algorithm Piccolo, and generates the plurality of encrypted data items corresponding to the plurality of plain text data items by the reverse conversion of the data with respect to the cryptographic process results.
