Abstract
Since substitution box (S-box) is the only nonlinear component related to confusion properties for many block encryption algorithms, it is a necessity for the strong block encryption algorithms. S-box is a vital component in cryptography due to having the effect on the security of entire system. Therefore, alternative S-box construction techniques have been proposed in many researches. In this study, a new S-box construction method based on fractional-order (FO) chaotic Chen system is presented. In order to achieve that goal, numerical results of the FO chaotic Chen system for $$a= 35, b=3, c=28$$ and $$\alpha =0.9$$ are obtained by employing the predictor–corrector scheme. Besides, a simpler algorithm is suggested for the construction of S-box via time response of the FO chaotic Chen system. The performance of suggested S-box design is compared with other S-box designs developed by chaotic systems, and it is observed that this method provides a stronger S-box design.
