Advanced encryption standard (AES) security enhancement using hybrid approach

Abstract

Security is major concern in data handling, communication, message transmission and electronic transaction on public network. Cryptography (secret writing) is the encryption process of transformation of messages to make information secure and resistant to attack. AES is symmetric encryption standard recommended by NIST. AES is proved to be highly secure, faster and strong encryption algorithm. AES is used commonly because of its great competence and easiness. But in recent years cyber-attacks are continuously developing, therefore security specialists must stay busy in the lab inventing new schemes to keep attackers at bay. Possible attacks on symmetric algorithm can be Brute-force Attack, Differential Attack, Algebraic Attack and Linear Attack. So to provide strong security in message transmission, AES algorithm with hybrid approach of Dynamic Key Generation and Dynamic S-box Generation is proposed. In hybrid approach first we will add more complexity in data to increase Confusion and Diffusion in Cipher text by using Dynamic Key Generation and then by using Dynamic S-Box Generation we will make it difficult for attacker to do any down study of static set of S-box.
