The encoded machine-language instructions are encoded according to a predetermined key assigned only to the processor. The predetermined key is independent of opcodes of the processor. The decoder decodes each of the encoded machine-language instructions according to the predetermined key. The instruction processor executes the decoded machine-language instructions.
