Design of highly nonlinear confusion component based on entangled points of quantum spin states.

Cryptosystems are commonly deployed to secure data transmission over an insecure line of communication. To provide confusion in the data over insecure networks, substitution boxes are the solitary components for delivering a nonlinear mapping between inputs and outputs. A confusion component of a block cipher with high nonlinearity and low differential and linear approximation probabilities is considered secure against cryptanalysis. This study aims to design a highly nonlinear substitution-permutation network using the blotch symmetry of quantum spin states on the Galois field GF (2). To observe the efficiency of the proposed methodology, some common and advanced measures were evaluated for performance, randomness, and cryptanalytics. The outcomes of these analyses validate that the generated nonlinear confusion components are effective for block ciphers and attain better cryptographic strength with a high signal-to-noise ratio in comparison to state-of-the-art techniques.
