Cipher block chaining-based color medical image encryption for secure transmission

Research in multimedia security is devoted to medical image encryption. Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), Rotation Operations, and Random Permutations (RaPe) are proposed in this manuscript as a hybrid encryption algorithm for medical images. As a result, the RGB planes are scrambled in specified directions: horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. An exhaustive attack method is effectively protected against decryption utilizing this method since it completely erases the outline of encrypted medical images, blurs the RGB-level matrix distribution properties, and completely erases the outlines of encrypted medical images. The proposed system does not use a transform domain for deploying improved security. Various parameters can be used to test and analyze the medical image in this proposed approach to ensure its security and effectiveness. Utilizing the proposed method as an example of its effectiveness, pragmatic images are selected to demonstrate its practical application in medical image encryption.

Throughput Optimized Reversible Cellular Automata Based Security Algorithm

Reversible cellular automation is a highly parallel system and produces enhanced throughput in its cryptographic applications. The throughput optimized security algorithm based on reversible cellular automata produces a better result in high-performance systems with many cores of CPU or GPU. We designed a throughput optimized block encryption technique using reversible cellular automata and compared its performance with other cellular automata-based algorithms. We tested its performance in both 8 core and 64 core CPU systems and the results showed an enhancement in throughput. This encryption system produced plaintext blocks that are immune to other blocks during cryptanalysis because of segmentation and the use of the different random numbers as seeds. It was built with 128 bits block encryption, but it was easily scalable to a higher block size without changing the algorithm. Each block of encryption used a cipher block chaining mode and was hence more secure and effective.

Design, Implementation, and Analysis of a Block Cipher Based on a Secure Chaotic Generator

This work proposes a new secure chaos-based encryption/decryption system, operating in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode, and analyze its performance. The cryptosystem includes a robust pseudorandom number generator of chaotic sequences (PRNG-CS). A strong chaos-based S-box is proposed to perform a circular substitution operation (confusion process). This PRNG-CS consists of four discrete 1-D chaotic maps, weakly coupled by a predefined coupling matrix M, to avoid, on the one hand, the divide-and-conquer attack and, on the other hand, to improve the generated sequence’s randomness and lengths. The noun is also used in the construction of the S-box. Moreover, a 2-D modified cat map and a horizontal addition diffusion (HAD) preceded by a vertical addition diffusion (VAD) are introduced to perform the diffusion process. The security analysis and numerous simulation results of the main components (PRNG-CS and S-box) as well as the whole cryptosystem reveal that the proposed chaos-based cryptosystem holds up against various types of statistical and cryptographic attacks.

A Single-Pass and One-Round Message Authentication Encryption for Limited IoT Devices

In this work, we propose three efficient variants of a message authentication encryption (MAE) algorithm, which is based on the dynamic key-dependent concept and dynamic operation mode to reach a high level of security. These variants consist of a single pass and a single round, in addition to the use of common operations for the encryption and authentication processes to reduce the required execution time and resources. Accordingly, the proposed scheme outperforms the existing solutions that are based on the static approach with multiple rounds. Furthermore, to reduce the overhead associated with the regeneration of the dynamic key and the corresponding cryptographic primitives, we propose a simple, yet effective update process. In such a scheme, even when the same plaintext is processed, it will be encrypted and authenticated using different cryptographic primitives (substitution and permutation tables in addition to round keys), which guards against the existing cryptanalysis techniques. The experimental results show that the proposed MAE variants are more efficient than the counter with cipher block chaining message authentication code (CCM), Galois message authentication code (GMAC), offset codebook mode (OCB), and the Chacha20-poly1305. The best performance is achieved with the third MAE variant that presents a high throughput with an enhancement of at least 373% compared to CCM, 90% compared to GCM, 23% compared to OCB, and 22% compared to Chacha20-poly1305.

A secure communication protocol for civil drones

This paper introduces a secure communication protocol that provides secured communication pathways to manipulate drones through unsecured communication. The deployment of the proposed protocol works through providing two secured communication paths; drones to the drone’s controller path and controller to data centre path. The first secured communication path has achieved a high level of security and privacy by using a modification of SHA-1 method and an advanced encryption method. The modification of the SHA-1 is called 83SHA-1. These modifications can increase rounds in the first stage up to 83 rounds, inject each round with expansion and S-Boxes procedures that are used in DES to extend length from 160 to 240 bits then reduce it from 240 to 160 bits. After hash data from the drone then use the advanced encryption method which is called Geffe-Genetic (GG) Encryption algorithm where three types of keys will be used for deception attackers. The second accomplishment is to ensure providing secure communication between the drone’s controller and datacentre by using RNA-RADG-CBC (RRCBC) encryption algorithm where will generate an initialization vector (IV) for cipher block chaining (CBC) randomly, generate keys, and propose an encryption/decryption method. The security analysis shows a promising high security level of drones’s data.

Pervasive and ubiquitous computing has enabled people better integrate physical things into the digital world. The internet of things (IoT) has been considerably more widely used in business and everyday life in the last decade. Innovative healthcare information and communication technologies are a vast field of research and applications that need IoT benefits, including speed, security, and low cost. The proposed modified advanced encryption standard (AES)-cipher block chaining (CBC)-based blockchain technology offers a shared key to devices that need to communicate directly with or with entities outside the smart healthcare network to give users greater control over transactions. The experiments are carried out using a Raspberry Pi 3, whereas two different sensors are ‎employed in this case. Blockchain technology encrypts data between doctor and patient with varied user numbers. The results from experiments revealed that the proposed modified AES-CBC based blockchain technology could provide the IoT application with security services (confidentiality, integrity, and access control) with efficient execution time.

Stream-keys generation based on graph labeling for strengthening Vigenere encryption

This paper address the cryptographic keys management problem: how to generate the cryptographic keys and apply them to secure encryption. The purpose of this research was to study on utilizing graph labeling for generating stream-keys and implementing the keys for strengthening Vigenere encryption. To achieve this objective, the research was carried out in four stages: developing an algorithm for generating stream-keys, testing the randomness of the constructed keys, implementing the eligible keys in a modified Vigenere encryption and, finally, analyzing the security of the encryption. As the result, most of stream-keys produced by the algorithm are random, and the implementation of the stream keys to the modified Vigenere cipher achieve good security. The contributions of this research are utilizing graph labeling to generate stream-keys and providing different encryption keys for different blocks in a block based cipher with low storage capacity. The novel technical results yielded from this research are the algorithm of developing the source of the stream-keys based on graph labeling, the algorithm of constructing the initial block keys, and the protocol of a modified Vigenere encryption using stream-keys and operated in cipher block chaining mode.

The Evaluation of Time-Dependent Initialization Vector Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm for Image Encryption

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) has become an attractive encryption method for its high security and fast implementation. The encryption algorithm is approved as a standard to be used in widely used communication and data processing units However, the advance in technology and the introduction of quantum computers made the encryption scheme vulnerable to attack. Different attack procedures are continuously being developed for attacking end decrypted important and sensitive data. This paper evaluated an enhanced Advanced Encryption System operating in Cipher Block Chaining mode that suggests a promising solution for resisting future attacks. The approach depends on a time-dependent initialization vector that produces the initialization vector block depending on the epoch time without sharing any encryption key. The evaluation process includes correlation analysis, global and local Shannon entropy analysis, chi-square analysis, histogram analysis, and differential analysis. The results showed that the enhanced encryption scheme is reliable and can resist most cyber-attacks without exposing any encrypted data to the public. The results were compared with previously published and tested algorithms and found that it satisfies and exceeds the minimum requirement. So, the encryption method can be implemented safely in future communication channels or used in the file encryption process. . .

An Area-Optimized and Power-Efficient CBC-PRESENT and HMAC-PHOTON

This paper introduces an area-optimized and power-efficient implementation of the Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode for an ultra-lightweight block cipher, PRESENT, and the Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC)-expanded PHOTON by using a feedback path for a single block in the scheme. The proposed scheme is designed, taped out, and integrated as a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) in a 65-nm CMOS process. An experimental analysis and comparison between a conventional implementation of CBC-PRESENT/HMAC-PHOTON with the proposed feedback basis is performed. The proposed CBC-PRESENT/HMAC-PHOTON has 128-bit plaintext/text and a 128-bit secret key, which have a gate count of 5683/20,698 and low power consumption of 1.03/2.62 mW with a throughput of 182.9/14.9 Mbps at the maximum clock frequency of 100 MHz, respectively. The overall improvement in area and power dissipation is 13/50.34% and 14.87/75.28% when compared to a conventional design.

MPF based symmetric cipher performance comparison to AES and TDES

This paper presents a performance comparison of newly created matrix power function (MPF) based symmetric cipher realized in cipher-block chaining mode (CBC) with two other standardized ciphers namely AES-128 and triple DES. The encryption rate is compared using 64 bits arithmetic operations. It is shown that the proposed cipher has a significant advantage against compared ciphers. It is achieved by consuming more memory for MPF realization. Mentioned ciphers are compared using the central processing unit (CPU) the number of clock cycles required to encrypt fixed size plaintexts. This paper also includes a comparison of a number of operations required to encrypt plaintext as well as memory requirements for each of the ciphers with pre-determined parameters. The main difference between symmetric cipher based on MPF and other standardized ciphers mentioned in the paper is the ability to work with larger matrix entries in comparison to other algorithms as well as availability to parallelize the process of encrypting a single block.

Matrix Power Function Based Block Cipher Operating in CBC Mode

In our previous study, we proposed a perfectly secure Shannon cipher based on the so-called matrix power function. There we also introduced a concept of single round symmetric encryption, i.e., we used the matrix power function together with some rather simple operations to define a three-step encryption algorithm that needs no additional rounds. Interestingly enough, the newly proposed Shannon cipher possesses the option of parallelization—an important property of efficiently performing calculations using several processors. Relying on our previous proposal, in this study we introduce a concept of a one round block cipher, which can be used to encrypt an arbitrary large message by dividing it into several blocks. In other words, we construct a block cipher operating in cipher block chaining mode on the basis of the previously defined Shannon cipher. Moreover, due to the perfect secrecy property of the original algorithm, we show that our proposal is able to withstand the chosen plaintext attack.

Enhanced design and hardware implementation of a chaos-based block cipher for image protection

Nowadays chaos-based cryptography systems are widely used to protect sensitive data. A variety of chaos-based cryptosystems with software implementation has been published in the literature. However, due to the rapid growth of connected devices, the development of hardware secure and low-resource cryptographic systems is necessary. In this paper, we enhance the design of one of our software cryptosystems and then we address its FPGA-based implementation. The improvement in the design consists essentially to introduce an Initial Vector (IV) entry to the Chaotic Pseudo Random Number Generator (CPRNG) thus allowing to generate a new dynamic keys for the confusion layer (using a modified 2-D cat map) and diffusion layer (using a logistic map) with each new execution of the system. The CPRNG is formed by XORred a discrete Skew Tent Map (STM) with a discrete Piecewise Linear Chaotic Map (PWLCM). The proposed cryptosystem, which operates in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode, is controlled by a Finite State Machine (FSM) to ensure that both the encryption and decryption are performed by the same reconfigurable architecture. The system is implemented on a Xilinx XC7Z020 ZYNQ FPGA platform. The results obtained in terms of hardware implementation costs (logic resources, throughput, and efficiency) and in terms of security against cryptographic attacks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed chaos-based cryptosystem.

Kombinasi Algoritma Cipher Block Chaining dan Triangle Chain Cipher dalam Penyandian File Text

Currently the use of information technology as a medium of information exchange is growing very widely. Various types of information such as text, images, sound and video can be converted into digital media that allows it to be reproduced or transmitted through various media. One of them is the internet, through the internet we can easily exchange information with other people in various places. However, there are times when information/messages are confidential, where no other party may know the contents of this information other than the sender and recipient. So we need a security against the message. Cryptography is a technique and art to encode messages or information in a medium, such as text, images, audio or video which aims to avoid suspicion from unauthorized people. For that we need a software that can encode confidential information in a text file. However, in hiding messages in text files using cryptography alone is not necessarily safe, so a useful algorithm is needed to improve security, therefore Cipher Block Chaining and Triangle Chain Cipher algorithms are needed. The research objective is to apply the Cipher Block Chaining and Triangle Chain Cipher algorithms for text file encoding applications. This is necessary because it often happens that the text message sent is a secret message that should not be known to just anyone. Block Chaining Ciphers and Triangle Chain Ciphers are useful algorithms to provide an advantage in terms of increased security in text files.

A fast parallel batch image encryption algorithm using intrinsic properties of chaos

In real-world applications, the ability to encrypt a large quantity of images is highly desirable. A branch of works resort chaotic encryption to encrypt images but mostly aim at one image for one-time encryption. Besides, encryption algorithms that can support processing batch images are strongly needed for acceleration in the scenario of massive data. To this end, we propose a fast and more secure algorithm for protecting batch images by employing chaotic intrinsic properties, reversible steganography, and parallel computing. First, our algorithm assigns batch images evenly to each thread, in which Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode is applied among neighboring images for encryption. Later, the identifier number of each thread and its CBC indexes are encrypted and embedded into the corresponding cipher-images using reversible steganography, which enhances the security of existing chaotic encryption. Besides, keystreams are associated with the plaintext for the goal of resisting chosen-plaintext attack. The experimental results and security analyses show that our algorithm can achieve superior results with high efficiency.

Efficient Segment-based Image Ciphering using Discretized Chaotic Standard Map with ECB, OFB and CBC

This paper presents a block-based ciphering scheme that employs the 2D discretized chaotic Standard map (CSM) in three different operation modes. The employed operation modes include the electronic codebook (ECB), the output feedback (OFB) and the cipher block chaining (CBC) modes. In the presented 2D discretized CSM with the OFB and CBC, the initiation vector (IV) is employed as the primary secret key. The presented 2D discretized CSM with the CBC has two merits. The first merit is the ability of the presented 2D discretized CSM with the ECB, OFB and CBC to encipher images of any dimensions in a comparatively short time. The second merit is the high level of security of the presented 2D discretized CSM with the OFB and CBC through the integration of both diffusion and confusion operations. Different security key metrics like histogram deviation, irregular, and coefficient of correlation, are examined to assess the functionality of the presented 2D discretized CSM with the OFB and CBC. The resistance to noise, uniformity of histogram, and encryption speed are also investigated. The suggested 2D discretized CSM with the OFB and CBC is compared with the 2D discretized CSM in ECB. The achieved outcomes demonstrate that the proposed 2D discretized CSM with the OFB and CBC has a high security than in ECB from cryptographic viewpoint. Also, achieved outcomes demonstrate that the proposed 2D discretized CSM has better noise immunity in OFB compared with ECB and OFB.

CBC Mode of MPF Based Shannon Cipher Defined Over a Non-Commuting Platform Group

Commonly modern symmetric encryption schemes (e.g. AES) use rather simple actions repeated many times by defining several rounds to calculate the ciphertext. An idea we previously offered was to trade these multiple repeats for one non-linear operation. Recently we proposed a perfectly secure symmetric encryption scheme based on the matrix power function (MPF). However, the platform group we used was commuting. In this paper, we use a non-commuting group whose cardinality is a power of 2 as a platform for MPF. Due to the convenient cardinality value, our scheme is more suitable for practical implementation. Moreover, due to the non-commuting nature of the platform group, some “natural” constraints on the power matrices arise. We think that this fact complicates the cryptanalysis of our proposal. We demonstrate that the newly defined symmetric cipher possesses are perfectly secure as they were previously done for the commuting platform group. Furthermore, we show that the same secret key can be used multiple times to encrypt several plaintexts without loss of security. Relying on the proven properties we construct the cipher block chaining mode of the initial cipher and show that it can withstand an adaptive chosen plaintext attack.

A Proficient Mechanism for Cloud Security Supervision in Distributive Computing Environment

In the existing epoch, the cloud-IoT integrated distributive computing is earning very high attractiveness because of its immense characteristics which can be divided into two categories namely essential and common characteristics. The essential characteristics of cloud-IoT computing are demand dependent like broad network access, self-service, resource pooling, and speedy elastic nature. The common characteristics of cloud-IoT computing are homogeneity, massive scale, virtualization, resilient computing, low cost software availability, service orientation, geographic independent computation, and advanced safety availability. The cloud-IoT dependent internetworked distributive computation is internet based computation environment in which infrastructure, application software, and various similar / dissimilar platforms are accessible in the cloud and the end users (businessman, developers) have the right to use it as the client. Cloud is a step from Utility Computing and several industries / companies are frequently using cloud based systems in their day-to-day work. Therefore, safety issues and challenges of cloud computing cannot be avoided in the current era. Hence, the researchers must develop high order authentication protocols for preventing the safety threats of cloud based data communication systems. The proposed CCMP (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol) based management of cloud-IoT integrated information is a two phase authenticated encoding (AE) mechanism. The first phase is worn for executing privacy computations, and the second phase is used for computing validation and truthfulness. Here, both the cycles use same encoding technique. It is well known to us that the CCM/CCMP is an amalgamation of two forms namely AES counter form and CBC- MAC (cipher-block-chain message authentication code) protocol form. The counter form is worn to carry out encoding which guarantees data privacy whereas CBCMAC is worn to attain data legitimacy and reliability. In this investigation work the author has investigated and critically analyzed the CCMP dependent safe Cloud-IoT integrated distributive mechanism for data / information management. The proposed approach further improves the overall security and performance of cloud-IoT integrated computing networks. Further, the author has solved the challenges of cloud-IoT computing by studying and analyzing major cloud-IoT computing safety concerns, and safety threats which are expected in future generation cloud computing systems. In this paper, the author has proposed CCMP & CBC-HMAC (Cipher-Block-Chain key Hash-MessageAuthentication-Code) encoding protocol can be efficiently used for providing information safety and preventing various attacks when the data is being transferred between the Cloud and a local network. The prevention mechanism for unauthorized access of data within the cloud is also presented whose performance is highly satisfactory. A secure and flexible framework to support self-organize and self register of consumer’s information in to the cloud network is designed and tested. The testing results of proposed analysis provides us very clear evidences that the PRF of CCMP is a superior and secure in contrast to that of CBC-HMAC.

The increase in significant advances in information technology greatly provides comfort and convenience in managing data. This convenience is what makes people who are not responsible for using it as a crime such as hacking, cracking, phishing, and so on. In Telkom Region 4 Semarang, there is a container where there are important company data such as customer data. Customer data is very important and the contents of the data must be kept confidential. The company has experienced significant losses due to information leakage due to negligence in the last 5 years. For this reason, data security is necessary so that data is safe and is not misused. This study applies the Advance Encryption Standard algorithm - Cipher Block Chaining (AES-CBC) and Stream cipher in order to secure data so as to reduce the risk of data theft by telecom subscribers. Based on the average avalanche effect value of AES-CBC and a stream cipher of 49.34%, this shows that the AES-CBC and Stream Cipher encrypted files are difficult to crack so that data confidentiality is well maintained.

AI-Aided Individual Emergency Detection System in Edge-Internet of Things Environments

Recently, many disasters have occurred in indoor places. In order to rescue or detect victims within disaster scenes, vital information regarding their existence and location is needed. To provide such information, some studies simply employ indoor positioning systems to identify each mobile device of victims. However, their schemes may be unreliable, since people sometimes drop their mobile devices or put them on a desk. In other words, their methods may find a mobile device, not a victim. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a novel individual monitoring system based on edge intelligence. The proposed system monitors coexisting states with a user and a smart mobile device through a user state detection mechanism, which could allow tracking through the monitoring of continuous user state switching. Then, a fine-grained localization scheme is employed to perceive the precise location of a user who is with a mobile device. Hence, the proposed system is developed as a proof-of-concept relying on off-the-shelf WiFi devices and reusing pervasive signals. The smart mobile devices of users interact with hierarchical edge computing resources to quickly and safely collect and manage sensing data of user behaviors with encryption by cipher-block chaining, and user behaviors are analyzed via the ensemble paradigm of three machine learning technologies. The proposed system shows 98.82% prevision for user activity recognition, and 96.5% accuracy for user localization accuracy is achieved.

KOMBINASI CAESAR CIPHER DAN REVERSE CIPHER BERDASARKAN CIPHER BLOCK CHAINING

Communication in the current era of globalization is very developed. Many applications that can be used to facilitate communication. However, because of this convenience, the security of the information contained in it will be more easily hacked by irresponsible people. Cryptography is the science or art for security message. In cryptography there are two important processes, namely encryption and decryption. The sender's job is to encrypt the message and the receiver's job is to decrypt the message. The key used for this cryptographic process is the Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) operation mode. CBC mode is a very simple operation mode, so additional techniques are needed to make it more secure. The plaintext will be replaced with new plaintext resulting from a combination of Caesar Cipher and Reverse Cipher techniques. The results obtained indicate that the application of plaintext modifications to CBC can improve message security because the keys used are increasingly complex.
