Application of high performance one-dimensional chaotic map in key expansion algorithm

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we present a key expansion algorithm based on a high-performance one-dimensional chaotic map. Traditional one-dimensional chaotic maps exhibit several limitations, prompting us to construct a new map that overcomes these shortcomings. By analyzing the structural characteristics of classic 1D chaotic maps, we propose a high-performance 1D map that outperforms multidimensional maps introduced by numerous researchers in recent years. In block cryptosystems, the security of round keys is of utmost importance. To ensure the generation of secure round keys, a sufficiently robust key expansion algorithm is required. The security of round keys is assessed based on statistical independence and sensitivity to the initial key. Leveraging the properties of our constructed high-performance chaotic map, we introduce a chaotic key expansion algorithm. Our experimental results validate the robust security of our proposed key expansion algorithm, demonstrating its resilience against various attacks. The algorithm exhibits strong statistical independence and sensitivity to the initial key, further strengthening the security of the generated round keys.
