Key Transformation Approach for Rijndael Security

Rijndael is a block cipher designed by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen in 1999. It is a combination of security, performance, efficiency, implementability and flexibility that makes it the best selection for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). However, the 128- bit Rijndael Key Schedule does not s...

description Rijndael is a block cipher designed by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen in 1999.

This method improves the security of Rijndael Key Scheduling by increasing the bit confusion and diffusion of the Rijndael Subkey. The new method has shown positive results in terms of the bit confusion and diffusion of Subkey and it has increased bit confusion and diffusion compared to the Subkey of the original Rijndael Key Schedule.
