A noise resistant symmetric key cryptosystem based on S8 S-boxes and chaotic maps

Abstract

In this manuscript, we have proposed an encryption algorithm to encrypt any digital data. The proposed algorithm is primarily based on the substitution-permutation in which the substitution process is performed by the S8 Substitution boxes. The proposed algorithm incorporates three different chaotic maps. We have analysed the behaviour of chaos by secure communication in great length, and accordingly, we have applied those chaotic sequences in the proposed encryption algorithm. The simulation and statistical results revealed that the proposed encryption scheme is secure against different attacks. Moreover, the encryption scheme can tolerate the channel noise as well; if the encrypted data is corrupted by the unauthenticated user or by the channel noise, the decryption can still be successfully done with some distortion. The overall results confirmed that the presented work has good cryptographic features, low computational complexity and resistant to the channel noise which makes it suitable for low profile mobile applications.
