Designing S-Box Using Tent-Sine Chaotic System While Combining the Traits of Tent and Sine Map

Secure exchange of sensitive information between different entities is a serious challenge in today’s environment. Therefore, various cryptosystems have been created specifically for this purpose. Various operations are used in these cryptosystems. The most common operations used are substitution and permutation. The substitution-box (S-box), a look-up table that takes x bits as input and replaces them with y bits, is responsible for the substitution operation. The construction of an S-box with strong cryptographic attributes is an essential part of building a robust and secure cryptosystem.Numerous researchers have dedicated their efforts to devising intricate techniques for constructing S-boxes. In this study, a novel approach is proposed to design a robust and dynamic S-box based on a compound-chaotic map. The suggested method for constructing the S-box is characterized by its simplicity and resilience. Notably, the Tent-Sine chaotic system significantly expands the chaotic range, setting it apart from other chaotic systems and rendering it more suitable for cryptographic applications. This research introduces a promising avenue for enhancing the security and effectiveness of S-boxes, contributing to the advancement of cryptographic systems. A number of widely accepted metrics, such as Non-Linearity (NL), Strict Avalanche Criterion (SAC), Bit Independence Criterion (BIC), Linear Probability (LP), and Differential Probability (DP), are extensively exercised for the analysis and evaluation of the proposed S-Box’s cryptographic strength. The results of the proposed of S-box are compared with the S-boxes of other researchers, and it is observed that it is cryptographically sound and worthy of inclusion in modern cryptosystems
