The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is widely used in different kinds of security applications. The substitution box (S-box) is the main component of many modern symmetric encryption ciphers that provides confusion between the secret key and ciphertext. The S-box component that is used in AES is fixed. If we construct this component dynamically, the encryption strength of AES would be greater than before. In this manuscript, we used chaotic logistic map, Mobius transformation and symmetric group S 256 to construct S-box for AES. The idea behind the proposed work is to make supplementary safe S-box. The presented S-box is analyzed for the following analyses: linear approximation probability (LP), nonlinearity (NL), differential approximation probability (DP), strict avalanche criterion (SAC), and bit independence criterion (BIC). The analyses show that the proposed technique is useful in generating high resistance S-box to known attacks.

Substitution box is the non-linear part in Symmetric Encryption Algorithm. It gives the various alternate methods for the construction of S-Box by taking AES Substitution Box as base or modified version of AES S-Box. Hence it is proving that either AES S-box or modified version such as Gray S-Box, S8 S-Box is also satisfying the important parameters of S-Box such as nonlinearity, SAC, Bit Independence Criterion, Diffusion Strength, Differential Approximation probability while we are encrypting both the text and image

For a security system built on symmetric-key cryptography algorithms, the substitution box (S-box) plays a crucial role to resist cryptanalysis. In this article, we incorporate quantum chaos and PWLCM chaotic map into a new method of S-box design. The secret key is transformed to generate a six tuple system parameter, which is involved in the generation process of chaotic sequences of two chaotic systems. The output of one chaotic system will disturb the parameters of another chaotic system in order to improve the complexity of encryption sequence. S-box is obtained by XOR operation of the output of two chaotic systems. Over the obtained 500 key-dependent S-boxes, we test the S-box cryptographical properties on bijection, nonlinearity, SAC, BIC, differential approximation probability, respectively. Performance comparison of proposed S-box with those chaos-based one in the literature has been made. The results show that the cryptographic characteristics of proposed S-box has met our design objectives and can be applied to data encryption, user authentication and system access control.

Chaotic systems are vital in designing contemporary cryptographic systems. This study proposes an innovative method for constructing an effective substitution box using a 3-dimensional chaotic map. Moreover, bouyed by the efficiency of the proposed chaos-based substitution boxes’ effectiveness, we introduce a new chaos-based image cryptosystem that combines the adeptness of Gray codes, a non-linear and sensitive hyper-chaotic system, and the proposed S-box. The generated secret key emanating from the cryptosystem is correlated to the input image to produce a unique key for each image. Extensive experimental outcomes demonstrate the utility, effectiveness, and high performance of the resulting cryptosystem.

An S-box is the most important part of a symmetric encryption algorithm. Various schemes are put forward by using chaos theory. In this paper, a construction method of S-boxes with good cryptographic properties is proposed. The output of an S-box can be regarded as a group of Boolean functions. Therefore, we can use the different properties of chaos and Bent functions to generate a random Bent function with a high nonlinearity. By constructing a set of Bent functions as the output of an S-box, we can create an S-box with good cryptological properties. The nonlinearity, differential uniformity, strict avalanche criterion and the independence criterion of output bits are then analyzed and tested. A security analysis shows that the proposed S-box has excellent cryptographic properties.

This paper proposes a new symmetric encryption system based on an elliptical curve and chaos, where the encryption is done in a single block and runs for 14 rounds. Here, the 15 encryption keys have the same size as the image and are generated using a solution point of a strong elliptic curve. Using a string of random numbers obtained with a logistic map, a permutation and its inverse are generated, which improve the encryption level and add diffusion to the cryptosystem. Another important contribution to this research is the generation of a substitution box with a non-linearity of 100, which strengthens the cryptosystem against differential and linear attacks that add confusion to the scheme. Moreover, the cryptographic properties of the proposed S-Box are compared with those of the S-Box of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to ascertain that it is a suitable alternative that it is resistant to differential power analysis (DPA) attacks. To verify the robustness of proposed cryptosystem against cryptanalysis and the quality of the cipher text obtained, this system is subjected to different tests, such as entropy, correlation coefficient, χ2, Changing Pixel Rate (NPCR), and Unified Averaged Changing Intensity (UACI). The results are shown and compared with recently proposed systems.

AbstractIn many cases, images contain sensitive information and patterns that require secure processing to avoid risk. It can be accessed by unauthorized users who can illegally exploit them to threaten the safety of people’s life and property. Protecting the privacies of the images has quickly become one of the biggest obstacles that prevent further exploration of image data. In this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving scheme to protect sensitive information within images. The proposed approach combines deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing code, Arnold transformation (AT), and a chaotic dynamical system to construct an initial S-box. Various tests have been conducted to validate the randomness of this newly constructed S-box. These tests include National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) analysis, histogram analysis (HA), nonlinearity analysis (NL), strict avalanche criterion (SAC), bit independence criterion (BIC), bit independence criterion strict avalanche criterion (BIC-SAC), bit independence criterion nonlinearity (BIC-NL), equiprobable input/output XOR distribution, and linear approximation probability (LP). The proposed scheme possesses higher security wit NL = 103.75, SAC ≈ 0.5 and LP = 0.1560. Other tests such as BIC-SAC and BIC-NL calculated values are 0.4960 and 112.35, respectively. The results show that the proposed scheme has a strong ability to resist many attacks. Furthermore, the achieved results are compared to existing state-of-the-art methods. The comparison results further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper analyzes the encryption and weaknesses of E. Álvarez cryptography. On the basis of this, a new chaotic cryptography based on ergodicity is presented. The control parameter and the initial condition of the chaotic system are chosen as a secret key. A bit chain is generated by iterating the chaotic map, and the location where a plaintext grouping appears in the chain is found. We then write down the number of iterations of the chaotic map as the ciphertext grouping. Several weaknesses of the E. Álvarez cryptography are avoided in the new scheme, and the security of the new scheme is improved. In the end, the new cryptography is studied experimentally using the Logistic map, where the new cryptography's confusion and diffusion is validated, and its effectiveness is also illuminated.

This research presents a method of image encryption that has been designed based on the algorithm of complete shuffling, transformation of substitution box, and predicated image crypto-system. This proposed algorithm presents extra confusion in the first phase because of including an S-box based on using substitution by AES algorithm in encryption and its inverse in Decryption. In the second phase, shifting and rotation were used based on secrete key in each channel depending on the result from the chaotic map, 2D logistic map and the output was processed and used for the encryption algorithm. It is known from earlier studies that simple encryption of images based on the scheme of shuffling is insecure in the face of chosen cipher text attacks. Later, an extended algorithm has been projected. This algorithm performs well against chosen cipher text attacks. In addition, the proposed approach was analyzed for NPCR, UACI (Unified Average Changing Intensity), and Entropy analysis for determining its strength.


Chaotic systems behavior attracts many researchers in the field of image encryption. The major advantage of using chaos as the basis for developing a crypto-system is due to its sensitivity to initial conditions and parameter tunning as well as the random-like behavior which resembles the main ingredients of a good cipher namely the confusion and diffusion properties. In this article, we present a new scheme based on the synchronization of dual chaotic systems namely Lorenz and Chen chaotic systems and prove that those chaotic maps can be completely synchronized with other under suitable conditions and specific parameters that make a new addition to the chaotic based encryption systems. This addition provides a master-slave configuration that is utilized to construct the proposed dual synchronized chaos-based cipher scheme. The common security analyses are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Based on all experiments and analyses, we can conclude that this scheme is secure, efficient, robust, reliable, and can be directly applied successfully for many practical security applications in insecure network channels such as the Internet
