This permutation circuit can be considered to be a multi-bit adder without a carry. In one embodiment it takes the form of m address bits being fed to m+y 2-way exclusive OR gates with m+y permutation bits to generate m+y input bits accessing a decoder with 2m output positions. In another embodiment the decoder takes the form an m bit adder with which adds m address bits to m permutation bits to g...
