An authentication encryption device generates a mask sequence having, as an element, multiplication, in a Galois field, of a basic mask and a primitive element raised to power of an exponent. The basic mask is defined based on an initialization vector, a secret key, and a constant. The primitive element is a primitive element of a multiplicative group of the Galois field. The exponent differs per cleartext block. The authentication encryption device generates a mask for tag generation by multiplication, in the Galois field, of the basic mask and the primitive element of the multiplicative group of the Galois field raised to power of an exponent differing from the exponent in any of the element in the mask sequence.
