Abstract(in English) Currently, cryptographical technology such as an encryption algorithm is used in many IT systems. When an encryption scheme becomes insecure in computational sense, to fill the security requirement, we need to replace all IT systems which use the algorithm. Considering the cost, however, the replacement of IT systems outside the schedule is very difficult. In this research, we introduce the variable key length and the variable block size as "security parameters" of the block cipher, and show some examples of block ciphers with security parameters. By using such block ciphers, we can easily enhance the security of IT systems without exchanging the algorithm, even if the block cipher becomes computationally insecure.
