Description
Summary:This paper presents a hybrid method for the construction of cryptographically strong bijective substitution-boxes by utilizing the merits of chaotic map and algebraic groups. The hybrid method first generates the key-dependent dynamic S-boxes using chaotic heuristic search strategy and then the S-boxes are evolved with the help of potent proposed algebraic group structures. This paper proposes a new improved combination chaotic map to operate initial search strategy. To augment the strength of generated S-boxes, the algebraic group structures are discovered which have the power to improve their cryptographic strength. The performance assessments using standard criterions are rendered to quantify the strengths of proposed bijective S-boxes. The experimental results and comparisons with recent S-box research findings justify the effectiveness and competence of the proposed bijective S-boxes and anticipated hybrid generation method.
