Abstract

In the paper we use recently proposed cellular automata (CA) - based methodology [9] to design 8 × n (n ≤ 8) S-boxes functionally equivalent to S-boxes used in current cryptographic standards. We provide an exhaustive experimental analysis of the proposed CAbased S-boxes in terms of non-linearity, autocorrelation and scalability, and compare results with other proposals. We show that the proposed CA-based S-boxes have cryptographic properties comparable or better than currently offered classical S-box tables.
