Abstract

Homophonic coding, introduced in [1, 2], is refered to as a technique that contributes to reliability of the secret-key cipher systems. For the methods of homophonic coding known until now, the redundancy r defined as the difference between a mean codeword length and a source entropy can only be reduced at the expense of exponential growth of the memory size and calculation time required. We suggest a method of perfect homophonic coding for which the size of memory and the time of calculation grow as O(1/r) and O(log2 1/r log log 1/r), respectively, as r → 0.
