Enhancement RC4 algorithm based on logistic maps with multi-parameters

Abstract EN

This paper aims at overcoming the shortcomings of RC4 (Rivest Cipher 4) algorithm that mainly resides in the "key scheduling algorithm" (KSA) of RC4.

This paper is a trial to enhance key generation of RC4 on the basis of logistic maps with multi-parameters named (EKSA), the permutation of array of S improved to base of the generator for the random numbers that depend on three logistic maps with two parameters, three parameters and four parameters, the suggested algorithm result the follow : outcome = T ⊕ generated key ⊕ value that is random from EKSA (Lm4p (w)) The secrecy is tested for the enhancement RC4 with EKSA, in addition to the arbitrariness and variable key size effectiveness and different size of the plaintext regarding to those of the original RC4.The outputs display that original RC4 with KSA is less powerful than the the enhancement RC 4 with EKSA.
