Title: Enhanced Advanced Encryption Standard with Randomised Round Keys
Abstract: The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), is the standard for symmetric encryption of data as per the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) since 2001, and is the most popular encryption standard for securing data. However, the AES is an open encryption algorithm known to all and it is also known to be prone to number of cryptanalysis and brute force attacks. Military networks and applications require a very high degree of security as any loss of data on these will directly impact national security. Hence, the plain AES algorithm is not suitable for use by Military networks and applications. This paper will review the earlier proposals to strengthen the AES, identify the research gap in the efforts and finally propose an enhanced AES with increased randomness and more secure than plain AES. This proposed AES can be safely employed for in military networks and applications. The performance of the enhanced AES with randomised round keys was analysed through implementation in MATLAB software and a comparison with the plain AES. The results show that the proposed enhanced AES will ensure a better security with negligible overheads.
