This paper discusses the importance of S-box generators in modern encryption systems, introduces a new S-box generator based on isomorphic ordered elliptic curves, and compares it with other advanced generators, showing that the proposed generator is more secure and reliable. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed S-box generator can generate highly secure ciphertext for image encryption.
A substitution box (S-box) is the only non-linear component in many cryptosystems. Recently, S-box generators have been used intensively in many modern cryptosystems to obtain ciphertext that is secure against modern cryptanalysis. The purpose of these generators is to (i) efficiently generate (ii) dynamic S-boxes (iii) with optimal cryptographic properties (iv) that can be used as a group to create a secure ciphertext. However, no formal methods have been introduced that can analyze if an S-box generator can satisfy conditions (i), (ii) and (iv). The aim of this paper is fourfold: we formally discuss five methods to test if an S-box generator satisfies (i), (ii) and (iv). In the second part, we propose a new S-box generator based on isomorphic ordered elliptic curves that satisfies conditions (i)-(iv). In the third part, we conduct a detailed comparison of our S-box generator with some of the state-of-the-art S-box generators. From the comparison, we conclude that our generator is more secure and suitable for encryption. In the fourth part, we discuss an application of the proposed S-box generator for image encryption. Experimental results reveal that our S-box generator can generate a highly secure ciphertext for a plain text with a high correlation. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
