An electronic device for decompressing compressed data includes a decoding subsystem having a symbol decoder and a second symbol resolver with a number of local symbol decoders and a symbol selector. The symbol decoder decodes a first symbol from a first code for which a symbol is available in a block of the compressed data and communicates a length of the code to the second symbol resolver. Each local symbol decoder, substantially in parallel with the decoding of the first symbol in the symbol decoder, decodes a respective symbol from a first code for which a symbol is available in a respective sub-block of the block of the compressed data. The second symbol resolver selects, as a second symbol, based on the length received from the symbol decoder, one of the respective symbols from the local symbol decoders. The decoding subsystem then provides the first and second symbols.

A computing device (100), comprising a memory (240) and a controller (210), wherein said controller (210) is configured to encrypt a file (410) by transforming at least a portion of said file (410) to a number (X) and transforming the number (X) to an exponent vector (exp) comprising at least one exponent, wherein each exponent corresponds to a base in a base vector (base), and wherein the controller (210) is further configured to determine a scaling factor for the current base by dividing the number (X) with the current base raised to the power of the exponent and thereafter determine the residual number (X.sub.res) by reducing the number (X) by the base raised to the power of the exponent multiplied with the scaling factor.

A data encoding method for encoding an array of data values as data sets and escape codes for values not encoded by the data sets, an escape code including a unary coded portion and a non-unary coded portion, the method including: setting a coding parameter defining a minimum number of bits of a non-unary coded portion; adding an offset value of 1 or more to the coding parameter to define a minimum least significant data portion size; generating one or more data sets indicative of positions, relative to the array of data values, of data values of predetermined magnitude ranges, to encode the value of at least one least significant bit of each data value; generating respective complementary most-significant data portions and least-significant data portions; encoding the data sets; encoding the most significant data portions; and encoding the least-significant portions.

A computing device includes a memory and a controller. The controller is configured to encrypt and/or compress a file by transforming at least a portion of said file to a number and transforming the number to an exponent vector comprising at least one exponent, wherein each exponent corresponds to a base in a base vector, whereby the file is represented by the exponent vector and a family constant. The family constant is configured to align the number to be compressed and/or encrypted into a table family number, and the table family number represents a number family which is evenly dividable with the number.
