<p>Hackers should be prevented from disclosing sensitive data when sent from one device to another over the network. Therefore, the proposed method was established to prevent the attackers from exploiting the vulnerabilities of the redundancy in the ciphertext and enhances the substitution and permutation operations of the encryption process .the solution was performed by eliminates these duplicates by hiding the ciphertext into a submatrix 4 x4 that chooses randomly from magic square 16x16 in each ciphering process. Two techniques of encrypted and hiding were executed in the encryption stage by using a magic square size 3 × 3 and Latin square size 3 × 3 to providing more permutation and also to ensure an inverse matrix of decryption operation be available. In the hiding stage, the ciphertext was hidden into a 16×16 matrix that includes 16 sub-magic squares to eliminate the duplicates in the ciphertext. Where all elements that uses were polynomial numbers of a finite field of degree Galois Fields GF ( ). The proposed technique is robust against disclosing the repetition encrypted data based on the result of Avalanche Effect in an accepted ratio (62%) and the results of the output of the proposed encryption method have acceptable randomness based on the results of the p-values (0.629515) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) randomness tests. The work can be considered significant in the field of encrypting databases because the repetition of encrypted data inside databases is considered an important vulnerability that helps to guess the plaintext from the encrypted text.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
