Immune Systems Approaches for Cryptographic Algorithm

摘要

This paper proposed immune-inspired approaches in designing a new function for cryptographic algorithm named as 3D-AES. The immune systems approaches were selected on the basis of complex features that are desirable for substitution and permutation process to ensure adequate security and confidentiality of the systems in the world of information technology. This paper will identify the correspondences and highlight essential computation elements that can be applied in cryptographic algorithm that satisfies with Shannon's confusion and diffusion properties. The 3D-AES uses components in Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) algorithm and new core components based on immune systems approaches. Cryptographic strength in the context of this paper is related to the ability of the algorithm to produce a random output. The empirical findings are presented and identified that the randomness of the output in the 3D-AES algorithm are comparable with AES algorithm.
