Description
Summary:This article presents a cryptographic encryption standard whose model is based on Serpent presented by Eli Biham, Ross Anderson, and Lars Knudsen. The modification lies in the design of the Cipher, we have used power associative (PA) loop and group of permutations. The proposed mathematical structure is superior to Galois Field (GF) in terms of complexity and has the ability to create arbitrary randomness due to a larger key space. The proposed method is simple and speedy in terms of computations, meanwhile it affirms higher security and sensitivity. In contrast to GF, PA-loop are non-isomorphic and have several Cayley table representations. This validates the resistance to cryptanalytic attacks, particularly those targeting mathematical structures. This cryptographic scheme’s full description of encryption and decryption is measured and rigorously assessed to support its multimedia applications. The observed speed of this technique, which uses a key of 256 bits and a block size of 128 bits, is comparable to three-key triple-DES.
